Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of House Bill 2556, specific language regarding the fees associated with water quality permits has been clarified and expanded. The bill now explicitly states that fees collected from various permit applications will be deposited into a dedicated water quality fee fund. This update is important because it ensures that the funds generated from these fees are used specifically for maintaining and protecting water quality in the state, which could help support better management and oversight of resources.
