x Granting amnesty to regulated parties that self-report violations of environmental regulations. x Eliminating the Citizens Board of the Pollution Control Agency. x Requiring 18-24 months of rulemaking before adopting basic policies and guidelines. x Preventing MPCA from adopting water quality standards by requiring lengthy, expensive and unnecessary

steps in the rulemaking process. x Requiring a three-week notice before discretionary environmental reviews can be ordered. x Delaying enforcement of updated nutrient pollution permits for wastewater treatment facilities in the Red

River watershed until 2025, unless approved by the U.S. EPA, North Dakota, and EPA Regions 5 & 8. x Earmarks within the Remediation Fund that prevent the MPCA from honoring its commitments to clean up

Superfund sites in several communities throughout the state. x Inadequate funding that limits the Environmental Quality Boards ability to streamline environmental

review process. x Providing funding to promote false pollinator labeling. (Repeal language from Ag Policy Bill that watered

down pollinator-friendly labeling.) Energy and Jobs Bill start with the vetoed bill except:
