Key Provisions:
- Requires the DEQ to analyze the effects of reductions or changes to federal environmental grants and other funding
- Directs the DEQ to assess how funding changes would impact the agency's ability to carry out its statutory responsibilities
- Calls for the DEQ to provide recommendations on how to address any funding shortfalls or programmatic impacts
Affected Parties and Impacts: The primary affected party would have been the state's DEQ, which would have been tasked with conducting the study. The findings could have informed the legislature's future budgeting and policy decisions related to environmental protection.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The joint resolution died in the legislative process and did not advance further. No additional action will be taken on this measure.
