The bill increases the maximum annual fee for tanks over 1,100 gallons from $108 to $300. For tanks 1,100 gallons or less, the maximum annual fee is raised from $36 to $100.

MINOR
The bill text was cleaned up by removing redundant punctuation and extra spacing, but the substantive policy content remains unchanged. The effective date provision was slightly rephrased to remove a period at the end of the title, and the document was finalized by removing the 'END' marker and extra blank lines.
TECHNICAL
Removed redundant period and quotation marks from the bill title and effective date section, and deleted the 'END' marker and extra whitespace.
