Bill > HB391

This bill modifies how the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) reports on the Community Environmental Project Fund, which is a fund used for environmental projects. Specifically, it changes the reporting frequency from quarterly to annual, and instead of reporting to the general members of the General Assembly, the annual reports will be sent to the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives for distribution to all Representatives, the Secretary of the Senate for distribution to all Senators, and the Director and Librarian of the Division of Legislative Services, ensuring a more direct distribution to legislative leadership and members. The bill also removes a requirement for the Department to report on expenditures and project selection processes annually to the Joint Finance Committee as part of its budget presentation, streamlining the reporting process.
