Under existing law, the Alabama Drycleaning Environmental Response Trust Fund Advisory Board is responsible for administering a dry cleaners' self-insurance fund for the investigation, assessment, and remediation of environmental contamination caused by dry cleaning operations. This bill would delete the requirement that the Alabama Department of Environmental Management Act prevent other units of federal, state, and local governments from becoming involved in contamination problems. This bill would also reduce the balance of monies the board is required to maintain in the Alabama Drycleaning Environmental Response Trust Fund from one million to two hundred fifty thousand dollars.
