WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 612

Subsection (b)(1) of this section is revised to
conform to the practice of the Department that
includes administrative civil penalties in addition to
criminal fines as a credit to the Sewage Sludge
Utilization Fund.

In subsection (e) of this section, the clause "any
expenditure that the Department makes under subsection
(c)(1) of this section" is substituted for the former
phrase "cost from any person", for clarity in light of
similar wording in subsection (d) of this section.

The only other changes are in style.

The only changes are in style.
