Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Assisted homeowners must pursue claims and repay
Homeowners covered by this assistance must pursue all available homeowners' insurance and damage claims in good faith. They must name the Remediation Assistance Revolving Fund as a primary creditor, beneficiary, or both for claim payments. They must give the Oklahoma Corporation Commission claim copies when asked. Claim money unrelated to damaged personal property must go back to the fund. Homeowners are personally liable if they fail to repay the fund or pursue available claims in good faith. The Attorney General must bring enforcement or repayment cases in Oklahoma County district court.
State funds cleanup of contaminated properties
The law creates the Remediation Assistance Revolving Fund, which keeps its money across fiscal years. It accepts public and private donations, contributions, gifts, and legislative funding; no funding amount is set. The Corporation Commission and Department of Environmental Quality can budget and spend fund money for cleanup under this law. After a home is removed and a well is confirmed, the Commission must clean up the emergency using state plugging funds. After cleanup, the city or county must sell the property at fair market value and return proceeds minus expenses to the fund. Emergencies unrelated to brine or oil, or involving naturally occurring breakouts, go to the Department of Environmental Quality. The fund must repay that department's cleanup costs when no other eligible funding source is available. Spending requires State Treasurer warrants on claims submitted through the Office of Management and Enterprise Services for approval and payment. The Commission must adopt rules to carry out the law.
Local governments get contaminated home reimbursement
Cities and counties can get reimbursement for buying and removing homes contaminated by brine, oil, or related substances. They must start the purchase process before requesting money from the Remediation Assistance Revolving Fund. The purchase price must reflect fair market value before the emergency. That value is the higher of the latest county assessment or a market analysis using similar sales from the previous three to six months. Applications to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission are free; the Commission reviews evidence and decides eligibility, with or without notice. Before reimbursement, the Commission must follow state emergency purchasing rules. The fund does not pay homeowners for damages.
