Funding
Harrisburg – The Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee, chaired
by Sen. Mary Jo White (R-21), will meet next week to consider legislation.
The meeting will be held Tuesday, October 23 at 10:30 a.m. in Room 8 E-B of
the Capitol's East Wing.
The purpose of the meeting will be to consider Senate Bill 266, sponsored by
Sen. Ted Erickson (R-26), the proposed Pennsylvania Global Warming Act.
Additionally, the committee is expected to consider Senate Bill 1100,
sponsored by Senator White and Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi (R-9), to
fund the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act.
The bill would direct $15 million to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund out of
legislative accounts for the current fiscal year, and earmark $40 million in
existing capital stock and franchise tax revenue until this tax is phased out in
2011.
