Bill Summary

Relative to the liability insurance requirements for owners of underground storage tanks. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.

AI Summary

This bill requires owners of underground storage tank (UST) dispenser sites to carry at least $10 million in liability coverage, regardless of any provisions in CERCLA, which stands for the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, a federal law that addresses the cleanup of hazardous waste sites. This means that even if CERCLA has different rules, these owners must still have this significant amount of insurance to cover potential liabilities related to their underground storage tanks.
