SENATE BILL 121: Increases fees for certain petroleum products 
and storage tanks.


There was much discussion between the various members of the 
committee and others present regarding admendments to S.B. 121. 
 A fee of $0.75 for fuel would generate $2 million to the fund. 
 They also talked of a 10 percent copayment , exempt the home 
heating cleanups and leave their liability to a $250 deductible 
charge.  Local government would be required to hold a public 
hearing on initiation of the clean-up and one public hearing 
every three months thereafter until the clean-up is completed to 
ensure the celan-up complies with requirements and was cost-
effective.  There was a need to train the owners and consultants 
to be cost effective.  Exempt all public agencies except for 
copayment same as now.

ASSEMBLYMAN BENNETT MOVED TO AMEND AND DO PASS S.B. 121.

ASSEMBLYMAN SEGERBLOM SECONDED THE MOTION.

THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY BY ALL THOSE PRESENT.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:15 a.m.

                                                              
   RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:
