Bill Summary

An act relating to petroleum cleanup programs; amending ss. 376.3071 and 376.3072 F.S.; removing the 2025-2026 fiscal year limitation on prohibiting certain deductibles and copays, prohibiting enforcement of certain monetary caps, requiring that certain costs be absorbed at the expense of the Inland Protection Trust Fund, and providing exceptions; providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill amends Florida Statutes related to petroleum cleanup programs by removing the expiration date of July 1, 2026, for provisions that prohibit the assessment of deductibles and copayments, and the enforcement of monetary caps on cleanup costs, meaning these protections will continue beyond the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It also mandates that all eligible cleanup costs be covered by the Inland Protection Trust Fund, a state fund established to address contamination from petroleum storage systems, without the state seeking reimbursement, with specific exceptions for sites where access is denied, costs incurred before a designated "grace period," or in cases of gross negligence, willful concealment, or intentional damage by the owner or operator of the petroleum storage system.
