HB0138 - Underground Petroleum Storage Tank Amendments

State Government (UCA 36-12-13(2)(b)):
Enactment of this bill could increase revenue to state by $1.80 million in FY 2015 and by $2.07 million in FY 2016 due to changes in fees and definitions related to underground storage tanks. This revenue could be offset by risk-based rebates of approximately $1.43 million that the Deparment of Environmental Quality will provide to low-risk underground storage tank operators. This bill also transfers balances of $5.95 million from the Petroleum Storage Tank Loan Fund and the Petroleum Damage Fund to the Petroleum Storage Tank Trust Fund.
