Bill summary

House committee substitute to the 1st edition makes the following changes.

Deletes changes to Section 12.9(e), SL 2022-74, which provided for allocations of funds appropriated to DEQ for the Water Infrastructure Fund, as follows. More specifically requires $1 million be allocated to Harnett Regional Water to construct water or sewer lines inside the Town of Erwin and removed the apportionment previously specified for the $8 million allocated to the Town of Walnut Cove.

No longer repeals GS 143-214.7B, which grants rulemaking authority to the Environmental Management Commission to establish a fast-track permitting process that allows for the issuance of stormwater management system permits without a technical review when the permit applicant complies with DEQ's Minimum Design Criteria for stormwater management and submits a permit application prepared by a qualified professional.
