The bill amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act by updating Section 21105 to enhance the management and reporting of underground storage tank registrations. It mandates that the Department of Natural Resources collect and evaluate information from these registrations and provide a report to the legislature that includes a compilation of registration data and an assessment of environmental hazards posed by the tanks. The deadline for this report is set for September 30, 1987, and the language has been updated to clarify the content of the report.

Additionally, starting October 1, 2026, the department is required to utilize electronic compliance management software to receive, compile, and store various documents related to underground storage tanks. This software must meet specific capabilities, including web-based access, user-friendly interfaces for data input, and features for tracking compliance and deficiencies. The bill aims to modernize the process of managing underground storage tank information, ensuring better accessibility and efficiency in compliance monitoring.
