Summary

Existing law establishes the Orphan Share Reimbursement Trust Fund to pay specified costs and claims relating to response actions at hazardous substance release sites under circumstances in which the share of liability for those costs is attributable to the activities of persons who are defunct or insolvent. Existing law requires moneys expended from the fund for those purposes to be recoverable by the Attorney General, at the request of the administrator of the fund, from any liable person or persons who have not entered into, or are not in compliance with, a written cleanup agreement for the completion of all response actions necessary at the hazardous release site, as specified. Existing law provides that any potentially responsible party who withholds information required to be submitted, or who submits false information, is subject to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 for each piece of information withheld or for each piece of false information submitted. This bill would subject a potentially responsible party to that civil penalty only if the party knowingly and willfully withholds information required to be submitted or knowingly and willfully submits false information. The bill would also make nonsubstantive changes to related provisions.
