The LSPA is preparing to testify on S. 534, an act relative to the remediation of home heating oil releases. Senate Bill #534 was authored by the LSPA to enhance the current law by requiring coverage be provided to homeowners and raising coverage limits to keep pace with rising remediation costs. This bill will be heard by the Joint Committee on Financial Services in mid-October.
And now, we are asking for your help! Here are a few ways that you can support S. 534:
- Have your advocacy organization sign onto the LSPA’s letter - call us to read it
- Testify by letter/in person at the hearing
- Help the LSPA identify affected homeowners who might testify
- Write your legislator, especially if s/he is on the Joint Committe on Financial Services
- Spread the word by sharing this information with your friends, colleagues and neighbors
