Bill summary
House committee substitute makes the following changes to 2nd edition. The act sets out a priority system for imposing mitigation procurement programs. The new edition adds, as a new second priority, procurement from an existing local compensatory mitigation bank, if the mitigation relates to impacts of a project within the service area and hydrologic area of the bank. Also adds a specification that the third priority—design/build by a private entity—is to be considered procurement of compensatory mitigation credits.
