BILL NUMBER:S7753 REVISED 06/24/10 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to local enforcement by county health commissioners of the control of the bulk storage of petroleum and the collection of fines and penalties PURPOSE: This bill would allow the five county health departments (Cortland, Nassau, Rockland, Suffolk, and Westchester) that have been delegated the authority to enforce Petroleum Bulk Storage regulations to assess up to the same maximum fine that the Department of Environmental Conservation may assess for the same violation outside those five counties. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one amends subdivision three of section 71-1939 of the environ- mental conservation law (ECL) by adding a new subdivision to authorize any county approved by the commissioner of the Department of Environ- mental Conservation (DEC) to enforce the Petroleum Bulk Storage (PBS) regulations to seek to recover any penalty provided for under section 71-1929 of the ECL for a violation of such regulations that occurs in such county. Section one further provides that the fines and penalties collected by the enforcing county shall be paid to the county, except that one-quarter of such fines and penalties shall be paid to the gener- al fund of the state purposes account. Section two provides the effec- tive date.
