Bill > H3837

This bill amends the definition of "Condition of substantial release migration" in the Massachusetts General Laws related to liability for the release of hazardous materials. It provides a more detailed definition of this term, including specific scenarios that would constitute a condition of substantial release migration. The bill also adds a new definition for "Critical exposure pathways" and includes a provision that shields eligible persons from liability for releases at properties not previously identified as part of a disposal site if the Department of Environmental Protection has audited and approved their response actions. Overall, the bill aims to clarify and expand the circumstances under which parties can be held liable for the release of hazardous materials.
