The purpose of this bill is to create an underground injection control well assessment fee for operators injecting waste from natural gas drilling operations. The bill requires record keeping, defines a term, provides criminal penalties and authorizes rule making. The bill requires the proceeds from the fee collected by the tax department to be remitted to the county commission of the county in which the underground injection control well is located. The bill permits the county commissions to use the proceeds from the fees for only infrastructure and/or recreation projects. This section is new; therefore, it has been completely underscored.
