Plain-language change summary

The latest version of HB 2872 has changed the maximum amount of pollution liability insurance coverage for heating oil tanks from fifteen million dollars to eleven million dollars each calendar year. Additionally, it adds the requirement for the agency to consult with local governments regarding environmental covenants before they are recorded. These changes matter because they help limit the state's financial risk while still providing significant support for environmental protection measures. By involving local governments, the law aims to enhance community input and oversight related to environmental safety.
