	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2005, as amended, Garrick. Oil spills: nontank vessels:
contingency plans and financial responsibility.
   The Lempert-Keene-Seastrand Oil Spill Prevention and Response Act
generally requires the administrator for oil spill response, acting
at the direction of the Governor, to implement activities relating to
oil spill response. The act requires a nontank vessel to submit to
the administrator specified documents and evidence of financial
responsibility.
   This bill would specifically require an operator of a nontank
vessel that is not used for commercial purposes to  have, and
 submit to the administrator, evidence of financial
responsibility  , payment of the applicable fee, and vessel
particulars  before the arrival of the vessel in the waters of
the state and to submit other required documents within 14 days after
the arrival of the vessel.
