§2650 Asbestos contractors and local educational agencies

Summary

The Administrator must study how easy it is for local educational agencies (for example, school districts) and asbestos contractors to get liability insurance or other financial protection for work required under this law. The study must look at how available the insurance is, whether costs have gone up or coverage has shrunk, whether limits are caused by things other than legal liability rules, how required regulations and contractor accreditation have affected availability or cost, whether lack of coverage is stopping inspections or management plans, and any other problems that slow inspections or plan work. The Administrator must send Congress an interim report with preliminary findings by April 1, 1988, and a final report with final findings by October 1, 1990. States may use those reports to create or change state laws setting liability rules for school agencies or asbestos contractors.
