HB189

Montana HB189 revises eligibility requirements for petroleum storage tank cleanup reimbursements.

Montana HB189 amends the reimbursement eligibility criteria for petroleum storage tank cleanups. It specifies that eligible costs include corrective action costs and compensation for bodily injury or property damage, but excludes certain expenses such as those exceeding maximum reimbursements, costs reimbursed by insurers, and those incurred more than five years prior to the request. The bill also outlines the reimbursement percentages and maximum reimbursement amounts for different types of releases. It extends the rulemaking authority and sets an effective date of July 1, 2025.
