SB 5993: Model toxics control program

Reforming the financial structure of the model toxics control program.

Summary

  • Excludes certain petroleum products from the tax rate of 0.7 percent on the wholesale value applied to hazardous substances subject to the Hazardous Substance Tax (HST), and instead applies an HST rate that begins at $1.09 per barrel in 2019 to those petroleum products.
  • Eliminates the three accounts created under the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) used to spend HST funds, and instead establishes three new accounts focused on operating budget, capital budget, and stormwater expenditures.
