SB 575 proposes to implement a nutrient procurement program, utilizing competitive bidding, to meet the Chesapeake Bay mandate. The legislation is designed to dramatically lower costs by enabling all sectors, public and private, to participate in providing Pennsylvania and its taxpayers a lower cost solution to the Chesapeake Bay mandate.
Pennsylvania House Bill (HB) 1642 – the House companion bill of SB 575 – is presently in the House State Government Committee, chaired by Garth Everett. Craig Scott, Bion’s director of communications, stated, “We remain confident the bill will be adopted by the full Assembly and accepted by the Governor in this 2019 session.”
