Bill > A1298

Introduced Session

This bill requires the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to compile and submit to the Governor and the Legislature, on or before March 1 of each year, an annual report detailing the appropriated and unappropriated balances of special funding accounts under the department's jurisdiction. Such accounts, often referred to as "off-budget," "below the line" or "special revenue" accounts, would include those supported by bond acts, dedicated revenues, taxes or fees, special purpose or one-time appropriations, federal or non-State contributions, and other similar funding sources not generally available for scrutiny by the Legislature or the public. The bill also requires the DEP to submit an initial interim report, based upon the most recent data available, within 30 days after the date of enactment of the bill into law.
