California AB961 extends immunity for certain parties from liability for pollution conditions caused by hazardous materials.

California AB961 amends the California Land Reuse and Revitalization Act of 2004, extending immunity for innocent landowners, bona fide purchasers, or contiguous property owners from liability for pollution conditions caused by hazardous materials.

The act is set to be repealed on January 1, 2037, unless a later statute extends or deletes this date.
