FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

The Department of Health and the Department of Revenue assume they would not be fiscally impacted by this proposal.

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) assumes in FY 1998 the land disposal tax generated approximately $97,000. These revenue vary from year to year depending on the disposal method chosen by the generator. The DNR anticipates the annual revenues to be approximately $100,000 per year.

The DNR also assumes this proposal will extend the Hazardous Waste Generator tax. This tax generates $1,500,000.

Any small business that has a reportable quantity of hazardous waste would be required to continue paying the land disposal tax. Any small business registered as a hazardous waste generator with the Department of Natural Resources will continue to pay the category tax based on the volume of waste produced.

DESCRIPTION

Land disposal and category fees for hazardous waste generators will expire on January 1, 2000. This substitute extends the fees to January 1, 2004.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
