Bill Summary: A 1473 - Relates to Fees for Lake Program Activities

Overview

This bill, A 1473, relates to the fees charged for activities undertaken as part of a state-run lake program. It aims to update and potentially increase the fees associated with various lake management and oversight responsibilities carried out by the state government.

Key Provisions

The main elements of A 1473 include:

  1. Fee Adjustments: The bill authorizes the state agency overseeing the lake program to adjust various fees related to the following activities:

    • Permits for lake construction or alteration projects
    • Licenses for commercial activities on state-owned lakebeds
    • Inspections and monitoring of lake water quality and ecosystem health
  2. Fee Increases: While specific fee amounts are not enumerated in the bill text, A 1473 grants the state agency discretion to increase these program-related fees as deemed necessary to cover the costs of administering and enforcing the lake management initiatives.

  3. Revenue Allocation: Any additional revenue generated from the higher fees would be directed towards the state's lake conservation fund, which supports ongoing maintenance, restoration, and protection efforts for public lakes and waterways.

Impact and Timeline

  • Affected Parties: The fee changes under A 1473 would primarily impact individuals and businesses engaged in construction, commercial activities, or other lake-related projects that require state permits, licenses, or oversight.

  • Effective Date: If enacted, the provisions of A 1473 would take effect 90 days after the bill is signed into law by the governor.

Related Legislation

A 1473 is a companion bill to the previously introduced S 807, which contained similar provisions regarding fee adjustments for the state's lake program. The two bills are being considered concurrently as part of the current legislative session.
