MODERATE
The bill was amended from its original introduction to become a substitute version. The primary change is that the section number was updated from 32.1-11.8 to 32.1-11.7, and the scope was narrowed to specifically address residential property and buildings formerly used to manufacture methamphetamine or other illicit drugs, rather than all sites contaminated by fentanyl and other drugs. The amendment also clarifies that guidelines must certify methamphetamine levels are below target remediation standards and must be updated regularly.
