Disaster Assistance
House Bill 194 makes a technical statutory change as suggested by Legislative Legal Services. The Oil and Hazardous Substance Release Response Fund, under the administration of the Department of Environmental Conservation, was established to provide relief in the event of oil or hazardous substance discharges. In 1994, the name of this fund was changed to the Oil and Hazardous Substance Release Prevention and Response Fund, in order to establish an account intended to pay the expenses of making preparations for the possibility of a threatened release of oil or hazardous substances. All statutory references relating to the fund were amended to reflect the new name with the exception of AS 26.23.050(b). House Bill 194 corrects this oversight and brings the section into conformity with AS 46.08.010(a). |
