Petroleum releases on land owned by a state agency investigation costs responsibility specification
This bill requires Minnesota state agencies to cover the costs of investigating petroleum releases (like fuel spills) on land they own, rather than having those costs paid by other parties or state funds. It amends state law to explicitly state that state agencies, not responsible individuals or entities, are liable for these investigation expenses. The change applies retroactively to land purchased by state agencies on or after January 1, 2022. This directly affects state agencies managing properties with petroleum storage tanks.
