Alabama Drycleaning Response Trust Fund Board, requirement that the Alabama Department of Environmental Management prevent involvement of other units of government in contamination problems deleted; required minimum balance in Alabama Drycleaning Environmental Response Trust Fund reduced from one million to two hundred fifty thousand dollars

HB 390 amends the laws governing the Alabama Drycleaning Environmental Response Trust Fund. The bill removes the requirement for the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) to prevent other government entities from becoming involved in contamination issues related to dry cleaning operations. Additionally, it reduces the minimum balance required to be maintained in the Drycleaning Environmental Response Trust Fund from one million dollars to two hundred fifty thousand dollars. These changes affect the administrative oversight of dry cleaning contamination cleanup and the financial requirements for the fund, which helps dry cleaning businesses and affected landowners address environmental contamination.
