Section 40-13-80 (Repealed effective August 1, 2019) Legislative findings. The Legislature
makes the following findings: (1) The Legislature understands the need to properly fund state
agencies in order to match federal funds for enforcement programs. (2) The Surface Mining
Commission is the delegated agency in this state authorized to enforce the federal Office

paid to the Surface Mining Commission, there is a need for increased funding from other sources
in addition to permit fee increases. (Act 2017-369, §1.)...
