Bill > SB01403

This bill requires the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development to conduct a comprehensive study on brownfield remediation and development in the state. A brownfield is a property, typically a former industrial or commercial site, that is potentially contaminated and may be difficult to redevelop due to environmental concerns. The commissioner must complete this study and submit a detailed report to the joint standing committee responsible for commerce-related matters by February 1, 2026. The report will likely explore challenges, strategies, and potential solutions for cleaning up and repurposing these problematic sites, which can pose environmental and economic challenges for communities. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage and is designed to provide policymakers with important insights into how the state can better manage and revitalize brownfield sites, potentially supporting economic development and environmental restoration efforts.
