HB120 Underground Storage Tank Amendments, is sponsored by Rep. Kay McIff, and if passed, will increase the coverage limits for PST Fund participants from $1 million to $2 million per release.
Rep. McIff wants the coverage limits to apply retroactively to all sites (currently there are seven) that are still open and have exceeded the $1 million cap. Last year?s DERR actuarial study predicts that the fund will maintain a positive cash balance even with retroactive application of coverage limits.
Additionally, the bill will increase the PST Loan Fund limits from $15,000 per tank and $45,000 per site to $50,000 per tank and $150,000 per site.
