REPRESENTATIVE HANLEY stated that, since his bill had been introduced, the Senate Resources Committee had formed a subcommittee, inviting himself and Representative Kay Brown, who had also sponsored an air quality bill, to participate in their discussions. He said that the group had been meeting twice a week for the past three or four weeks, trying to incorporate provisions from HB 167, Representative Brown's bill (HB 39), and the Senate bill pertaining to air quality (SB 103) into a cohesive whole. He noted that the DEC working group had commented on the portions of the new bill which they themselves had not developed.
