Summary

The bill mandates that any underground heating‑oil tank on a home that hasn't been used for 12 straight months must be either permanently sealed or taken out. Property owners must have the tank tested for leaks, clean up any contamination, and sellers must tell buyers about the tank and provide the test results. This aims to prevent hidden environmental hazards and give homebuyers clear information.
