Agriculture Committee and Stormwater Legislation

General Assembly:
“This past week, the House approved HB 1173 on a 93 to one vote. The Senate Agriculture Committee followed suit on Thursday afternoon by unanimously reporting a nearly identical measure, SB 423, which awaits approval on the Senate floor. The bills, among other things, allow non-MS4 localities to opt out of having to establish a local stormwater program and have the Department of Environmental Quality establish and implement a program.”
