HB 519 Ohio House · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Restore the Clean Ohio Fund and provide for its administration

HB 519 restores the Clean Ohio Fund and places its administration under the Department of Development and the newly re-established Clean Ohio Council. The bill defines key terms related to brownfield cleanup, such as "property," "cleanup or remediation," and "institutional property," to guide how the fund is used. It creates a nine-member council with representatives from counties, municipalities, businesses, environmental groups, and the public to oversee the fund's operations. This council will meet regularly to review eligible projects and manage the distribution of resources for cleaning up contaminated sites.
