Bill > A07303

This bill amends the New York State general business law by creating a new section that requires oil delivery companies to clean up any spillage that occurs during oil delivery within 24 hours. If the spill affects soil, the company must replace the contaminated soil with new soil. The bill establishes a penalty structure for violations, with a fine of $500 for the first offense and $1,000 for each subsequent offense, with a maximum total fine of $10,000 payable by the oil delivery company. The law will go into effect 30 days after it is signed, and it aims to ensure prompt and thorough cleanup of oil spills during delivery to minimize environmental damage and protect soil quality. By imposing financial penalties, the bill provides a strong incentive for oil delivery companies to take necessary precautions and respond quickly to any spillage incidents.
