HB 1789: Home heating oil tanks

Minimizing threats to the environment caused by leaking home heating oil tanks.

Summary

Requires the Pollution Liability Insurance Agency (PLIA) to identify design criteria for heating oil tanks that provide superior protection against future leaks than standard steel tank designs.
Requires the PLIA to reimburse an owner or operator the difference in price between a standard steel heating tank and a tank that meets the PLIA design criteria. Reimbursement is only required if there has been an action to trigger coverage for an owner or operator that is participating in the PLIA program.
