Plain-language change summary

The amendments to SB 5319 include a new annual fee structure for public permit holders operating mines specifically for public works projects, which is set at $2,500. Additionally, the previous provision that set a maximum limit of $1,000 on annual fees for counties using mines has been removed. This change is significant because it establishes a higher fee for public projects, reflecting an intention to balance the financial contributions made by public works against the costs associated with mining operations.
