AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona law to establish a new fee for an asbestos regulatory program, which will be consistent with federal regulations (specifically 40 Code of Federal Regulations part 61, subpart m). The fees collected will be deposited into the air quality fund, which is used for various air quality initiatives, including research, monitoring, and developing rules to reduce pollution. The bill also makes minor wording changes to existing statutes related to hazardous air pollutants and the air quality fund, clarifying that the director of the department of environmental quality should only charge fees for the asbestos program that are sufficient to cover the department's expenses.
