If the fee is not paid in full, including any penalty within sixty (60) days of the due date, the Environmental Quality Permit Board may revoke the permit upon proper notice and hearing as required by law. Any penalty collected under this section shall be deposited into the "Air Operating Permit Program Fee Trust Fund."(4) Any owner or operator that fails to properly identify themselves subject to the Title V program may be subject to fees and penalties as determined by the commission.(5) It is the intent of the Legislature that fees collected pursuant to Sections 49-17-1 through 49-17-45 shall not supplant or reduce in any way the General Fund appropriation to the Department of Environmental Quality.Laws, 1993, ch. 611, § 4; Laws, 1995, ch. 510, § 1, eff. 3/29/1995.Amended by Laws, 2020, ch. 352, HB 1028,§ 4, eff. 7/1/2020.
