Senator Stevens introduces legislation to reinstate tax under Oil Pollution Act
Washington, DC - Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, has introduced the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund Maintenance Act of 2005.
"The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 imposed a series of new requirements to prevent a tragedy like the Exxon Valdez from ever happening again. In the unlikely event that even a small accident were to occur, the bill we have introduced today will ensure that the resources are available to mitigate any impact on the environment," said Stevens.
