Summary

The bill amends the Environmental Protection Act so that owners or operators of underground storage tanks installed more than 30 years ago can tap the Underground Storage Tank Fund for removal expenses. Eligibility requires the tank not be owned by the U.S. government, not hold fuel exempt from the Motor Fuel Tax Law, be properly registered, and the owner must have notified the Illinois EPA and State Fire Marshal. The change aims to help clean up aging tanks while preventing duplicate payments from insurance or other agreements.
