2003 House Bill 4730 ↩

Senate Roll Call 541: Passed

To establish new regulations and fees on the use of pesticides and herbicides to control aquatic nuisances such as overgrown weeds in lakes. The bill would eliminate the requirement to get a permit if a small inland lake has no outlet and no endangered species. The Department of Environmental Quality would be required to grant or deny an application for a permit before May 1 or within 30 days, or would be required to give a 15 percent discount. Permits could be denied if a lake contains threatened or endangered species.
