SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Petroleum Storage Tank Fund. Limits the exposure of the Virginia Petroleum Storage Tank Fund to third-party claims against the Fund. The Fund is used to reimburse owners of petroleum storage tanks for the costs of cleaning up oil releases from the tanks. It is also used to meet federal requirements that owners of underground storage tanks have insurance or the financial capacity to clean up any release. This bill would clarify that the Fund can be used to reimburse tank owners for costs they incur relating to third party damages only in the amount that is reasonable and necessary based upon the actual damage caused by the release.
