What changed in the latest version
11 added · 9 removedPlain-language change summary
The latest version of House Bill 299 includes a few updates regarding how the approval process for changes to North Carolina's State Implementation Plan will be communicated. The main change is a clearer statement about the role of the Secretary in providing notice and the effective date of the amendments. This adjustment matters because it aims to ensure that the process is more transparent and that key stakeholders are well-informed about new environmental regulations, helping them understand their rights and responsibilities.
