SB518-SSA1,1,3

to create 66.1105
2(20m) (a) 1. b. of the statutes;
relating to: environmental pollution in an
3environmental remediation tax incremental district.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law allows a city to create an environmental remediation tax
incremental district so that the tax increments generated by the district may be used
to pay the costs of remediating environmental pollution on contiguous parcels of
property that are located in the district. For purposes of an environmental
remediation tax incremental district, “environmental pollution” means
contaminating or rendering unclean or impure the air, land, or waters of the state,
or making the air, land, or waters of the state injurious to public health, harmful for
commercial or recreational use, or deleterious to fish, bird, animal, or plant life. This
bill modifies that definition of “environmental pollution” so that it includes
substances that if released into the air, land, or waters of the state due to the
redevelopment of an existing structure would be harmful to public health or harmful
for commercial or recreational use.
