Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.

SB 1739, c. 566: Oil spill contingency plan. This bill strengthens oil spill recovery response organization (OSRO) requirements by:  1) requiring, rather than authorizing, a rated OSRO to demonstrate response resources can be deployed to meet provisions of an oil spill contingency plan; 2) requiring, rather than authorizing, satisfactory completion of one unannounced drill for each rated OSRO prior to being granted a renewal or prior to reinstatement of a revoked or suspended rating; 3) providing that if an actual spill response performance is substituted for a drill, that response must be both satisfactory and performed during the previous three years; and, 4) providing that if a federal agency unannounced drill qualifies as an Office of Oil Spill and Prevention and Response drill, that federal agency unannounced drill must have been performed during the previous three years.
