SB 542 – Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee

Oil Spill Prevention and Pipeline Testing

This bill would have required out-of-use oil pipelines that have been closed for five or more years to go through advanced testing before reopening to reduce the risk of oil spills. Ultimately, elements of the goal of this policy were included in SB 237.
