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 of Surface Mining (OSM) programs, with a 50 percent match required in order to access federal funds.
