Bill Summary
This resolve provides for legislative review of portions of Chapter 305: Natural Resources Protection Act - Permit by Rule Standards and portions of Chapter 335: Significant Wildlife Habitat, major substantive rules of the Department of Environmental Protection.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the final adoption of specific rules from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) that have already been submitted to the Legislature for review, specifically concerning standards for permits issued automatically under the Natural Resources Protection Act (Chapter 305) and rules defining significant wildlife habitats (Chapter 335). These rules are considered "major substantive," meaning they have a significant impact on individuals, businesses, and the environment, and therefore require legislative oversight. The bill also includes an emergency clause, indicating that these rules will take effect immediately upon approval due to an urgent situation.
