§ 80355 Environmental Loan And Insurance Fund

Key Takeaways

  • •The money in this account is always available for the department to give loans and help with environmental insurance, without waiting for a new budget year.
  • •The money can also be used by the department and other groups, but only if the Legislature approves it in the yearly budget or another law.

Example

A company wants to clean up an old factory but needs money to do it safely.

The department can use the money from this account to give the company a loan or help with insurance to clean up the factory, even if it's not budget season. But if another group wants to use the money for something else, they have to wait for the Legislature to say it's okay in the budget.
