39			Align civil penalties with current statutory authority. Align class and magnitudes with current program priorities.				Increases antiquated penalty amounts to align with current statutory authority passed in SB105 by the 2009 legislature.				DEQ cannot implement higher penalties, even in the most egregious cases. Without adequate penalties, DEQ could be at risk of losing delegation of federal programs. Violators may be confused by different penalty maximums in DEQ rules and statutues.

The Legislative Assembly encourages agencies to seek public input to the maximum extent possible before giving notice of intent to adopt a rule. The agency may appoint an advisory committee that will represent the interests of persons likely to be affected by the rule, or use any other means of obtaining public views that will assist the agency in drafting the rule."
