HB0006 - Standards for Illegal Drug Lab Decontamination

State Impact:
This bill requires the Department of Health and the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board within the Department of Environmental Quality, to establish performance and certification standards for inspectors and contractors that assit in the decontamination of properties affected by illegal manufacturing of methamphetamines. It is estimated to cost $10,000 from the General Fund in FY 2002 to establish the rules and standards required by the bill. It is estimated that 1.5 FTE will be needed at the Department of Environmental Quality to administer provisions of this bill at a cost of $94,900 from the General Fund. Further costs of $48,000 from the General Fund are expected for training and assistance for local health departments. Local Health Departments will be responsible to inspect and assess properties for contaminations and their cleanups. Costs to local health departments are estimated at $1000 per site with an estimated 400 labs per year. The bill also provides that fees can be collected for training and issuance of contractor certificates. It is estimated that collections for those fees in FY 20002 will be $4,000 and deposited as dedicated credits.
