Modifies provisions relating to certain fees collected by the Missouri Emergency Response Commission
HB 70 modifies fee structures for businesses reporting hazardous materials to Missouri's Emergency Response Commission. It requires most employers (excluding local governments and family farms) to pay a $100 annual fee with their hazardous materials report, while petroleum retailers pay $50 per facility. Businesses already paying federal hazardous materials fees can deduct those from state fees, and all fees are capped at $10,000 per year per employer. Funds collected support chemical emergency preparedness activities, including planning, training, and public safety notifications.
