Wa Pollution Liab Insurance Program:

Engrossed Substitute House Bill (ESHB) 1175 adds an effective date of October 1, 2023, to the tax collection and account balance management described in Section 17. The Department of Revenue has already assumed this effective date in the fiscal note estimates.  ESHB 1175 also provides explicit authority for the agency to pursue cost recovery under the model toxics control act, chapter 70A.305 RCW, or other applicable state or federal laws. 

Assumptions and revenue estimates from the petroleum products tax are provided by the Department of Revenue fiscal

note included with the agency request submission. 

PLIA anticipates cash receipts from the following:

Section 4. Enrollment and/or program fees. These are indeterminate receipts dependent on the fees charged and

number of UST owners and operators who choose to enroll in the program. The fee amounts paid by UST owners and

operators seeking to register the UST system in the state financial assurance program will be identified through rule.

Section 15. Cost recovery from model toxics control act or other applicable state or federal laws. The agency anticipates indeterminate receipts dependent on the number of private right of action claims pursued to recover remedial action costs.

Ten-year projection prepared in consultation with the following agencies:
