SB 17-014

Senate Bill 17-014, which has been signed into law, stops local governments from setting their own inspection rules or charging fees for checking underground tanks that store petroleum products like gasoline. This means that only state regulations will apply to these tanks, and local authorities can no longer create additional requirements or collect money specifically for inspecting them. The bill affects businesses and property owners who have underground storage tanks for fuel or other petroleum-based substances. Since the status is "signed," this law is now in effect and must be followed by all relevant parties.
