Ruskin's AB 1188 Signed into Law by Governor Schwarzenegger
Sacramento, CA – Within a few days after Assemblymember Ira Ruskin’s Assembly Bill 1188 passed the Assembly with overwhelming bipartisan support and a vote of 70 to 1, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the bill into law. Written with an urgency clause, AB 1188 reinstates payment of claims made by small businesses for work performed in the clean-up of sites contaminated by leaking underground petroleum storage tanks. The bill also helps replenish the state’s Underground Storage Tank Fund (USTF), and will mitigate the shortfall which caused the potential four- to six-year payment delay.
