SB766

Every section of the enrolled act was reviewed, and all five operative text versions—introduced, Senate committee, engrossed, House committee and enrolled—match. The Senate issued a corrected committee report, but the available operative text comparison shows no substantive version change. Both committees reported without amendments and the amendment index lists none. Introduced; All versions; Corrected-report and passage history; Amendment index.

Many requirements appear in full because their agency references are being corrected; that does not make the whole reproduced provision new law. For example, the vehicle-emissions provision’s existing penalty ceiling of $500 per violation remains $500: the edit changes the commission’s shorthand, not the amount. The same distinction matters when reading the reproduced water, pollution-control and district-finance provisions. Section 62 and other reference edits; Prior penalty provision.

Compare the published text versions in the official text index. A change is not attributed to a specific amendment here without a verified record.

The practical benefit is more consistent identification of the responsible environmental agency, reducing confusion caused by outdated names. The act is not a broad rewrite of emissions limits or a new environmental agency funding program. Its express definition and historical-reference provisions still matter when determining which statute or agency applies. The law does not quantify resulting administrative savings or environmental outcomes. Scope of enacted edits.

Both the March 4 introduced and May 19 engrossed fiscal notes anticipate no significant state or local-government fiscal impact and assume state costs can be absorbed using existing resources. Neither assigns a dollar value to clearer statutory references. Introduced fiscal note; Engrossed fiscal note.
