Bill	AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 3, CHAPTER 22 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE DELAWARE NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT COMMISSION.	This bill enables the Delaware Nutrient Management Commission to regulate the application of nutrients to turf by commercial nutrient handlers. The law excludes athletic fields, golf courses, and land used in the production for sale of sod or seed and only applies to commercial nutrient handlers who are paid to apply such nutrients. This bill decreases the threshold of serviced acreage for which commercial nutrient handlers would need a certification to apply nutrients to turf. Allowing the Commission to oversee such conduct will further ensure that Delaware’s waterways are continually improved and maintained to meet or exceed federally mandated water quality standards, in the interest of the overall public welfare.	us/states/de	Delaware General Assembly	152	SB 318	Delaware SB 318 (152)	bill		enacted	David L.
