*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 27, 2015
Bill
Summary: This bill would require each of the boards,
departments, and offices (BDOs) of the California Environmental
Protection Agency (CalEPA) to establish a policy on the use of
supplemental environmental projects (SEPs) that benefit
disadvantaged communities that may be voluntarily undertaken to
offset a civil penalty.
Fiscal
Impact:
Unknown lost revenues, likely in the millions of dollars, to
various special funds as a result of penalty reductions as a
result of SEPs.
Minor and absorbable costs to various special funds for the
BDOs to oversee SEPs.
