2010 Senate Bill 1345 / Public Act 228

Streamline hazardous material spill regulatory regime

Introduced in the Senate

May 25, 2010

Introduced by Sen. Patricia Birkholz (R-24)

To streamline the regulations, procedures, reporting and inspection requirements, definitions, etcetera for cleanups of hazardous materials that exist on a property or are spilled. Rather than requiring the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to promulgate generic rules for all cleanups, it would instead determine the adequacy of a given cleanup on a case-by-case basis.
