This bill provides $727,700 from the state general fund to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to plug abandoned natural gas wells and restore the land where they're located. The department secretary must approve all work before it begins, and any money not spent will be returned to the general fund. The bill declares an emergency so the funding takes effect immediately.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
