It ensures the Commission has clear statutory authority to administer, enforce, and take action under this program. The bill establishes consistent enforcement tools by expressly authorizing the Commission to address violations, including the ability to respond to concompliance, false or misleading information submitted to the Commission, and actions that interfere with required monitoring and reporting. It also codifies the Commission's authority to take administrative action when violations occur or are threatened, including the ability to impose appropriate remedies and conditions related to permits issued by the Commission.
