Purpose of the Bill : This legislation updates lender liability under the Hazardous Substances Cleanup Act by amending and adding definitions and detailing the responsibilities of lenders. It also permits reimbursements and direct payments to any person who enters into a settlement agreement with the Department. Finally the legislation aligns due process provisions of HSCA with other state environmental statutes by allowing orders to be issued by the Secretary without a prior public hearing but allowing an appeal to the Environmental Appeals Board.
