Minnesota SF1485 mandates that certain facilities notify local emergency responders of hazardous chemical releases.

Minnesota SF1485 amends state statutes to require facilities processing crude oil into petroleum products to notify local emergency responders of hazardous chemical releases. Owners or operators must report to the State Emergency Management Operations Center and local emergency personnel immediately after such a release. The bill excludes releases confined to the facility site or those authorized by state law. It also mandates that state agencies include the State Emergency Management Operations Center's contact information in all relevant communications.
