DIGEST
Adley (SB 467)
Present law provides that if at any time during a proceeding a party admits liability for
environmental damage or the finder of fact determines the party who caused the damage is
legally responsible, the court will order the responsible party to develop a plan for the evaluation
or remediation of the damage.
Proposed law provides that if a party admits liability for environmental damage and a plan has
been submitted to the department, the court shall not proceed to a trial on the merits until the
department has filed with the court the approved feasible plan for remediation of damages.
Effective August 1, 2014.
