Community Environmental Project Fund: House Bill 391 passed this session. This legislation revises the reporting requirements for the Community Environmental Project Fund for the purpose of easing the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control’s administrative burden. The fund was created by the General Assembly in 2004, which authorized the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control to establish a grant fund by withholding 40% of funds collected as penalties for violations of environmental regulations. The legislation updates the reporting requirement from quarterly to annually for how the funds are being used by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control.
