It shows a hearing on HB1742 but it is not in the draw down menu so I am voting against 1742 here.

I support HB 1620 because leaking or abandoned fuel-oil tanks pose serious risks to soil, groundwater, and homeowners. Clear closure standards and disclosure requirements protect public health, prevent costly contamination, and ensure that buyers have accurate information about environmental risks

I have been privileged to live on Mascoma Lake - six months of every year since 1995 - my sons and their families love Mascoma Lake. I want to keep Mascoma free of anything that can harm it for their lifetime too!
