These bills are on the Governor's desk awaiting action--

Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund: Senate Bill 1100 (Pileggi-R-Delaware) that would provide a dedicated source of funding for the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program was passed by the House without amendment (after considerable debate) and now goes to the Governor for his signature. (see separate article)

The bill takes $17 million from legislative accounts to fund the program for the remainder of this fiscal year and earmarks $40 million in revenues from the Capital Stock and Franchise Tax annually through fiscal year 2010-11.

Environmental Covenants: The House concurs in Senate amendments to House Bill 43 (Rubley-R-Chester), establishing uniform environmental covenants for brownfield sites, and now goes to the Governor for action.
