Bill overview
This bill proposes changes to federal law regarding fines related to environmental violations. Specifically, it introduces a ‘good faith’ exception to the penalties that can be imposed. If a company or individual can demonstrate they acted in good faith when making assertions or certifications related to environmental compliance, they may be exempt from certain fines. The bill aims to provide more flexibility in enforcing environmental regulations while still holding parties accountable.
