HAZARDOUS RESPONSE FUND

Amends the Hazardous Material Emergency Response Reimbursement Act. Provides that the Office of the State Fire Marshal (rather than the administrative panel) shall be responsible for (i) reviewing claims made against the Emergency Response Reimbursement Fund and determining reasonable and necessary expenses to be reimbursed to an emergency response agency and (ii) affirming that the emergency response agency has made a reasonable effort to recover expended costs from involved parties. Repeals a provision granting those powers to the administrative panel. Makes other corresponding changes.
