FL H1449

Amends section 403.0873 of Florida Statutes to allow major sources of air pollution to remit Title V federal Clean Air Act fees directly to approved local air pollution control programs instead of only through the state Department of Environmental Protection.

Maintains prohibition on approved local pollution control programs from collecting additional fees for services that are substantially similar to or duplicative of services performed by the state department or U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

License fees paid under section 403.0872(11) continue to be deposited in the Florida Air-Operation License Fee Account to pay direct and indirect costs for developing and administering the major stationary source air-operation permit program.

Takes effect July 1, 2012.
