Nevada § 445C.290 - Legislative findings
Full text of Nevada Nevada Revised Statutes § 445C.290 — Legislative findings, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 445C.290. Legislative findings
The Legislature finds that: 1. Protection of this State's environment, particularly its supplies of water, requires
the prompt cleaning up of any discharge of petroleum from a storage tank. 2. Federal law and regulations require each operator of a storage tank to show financial
responsibility for this purpose, but the capital of smaller operators is too little
to meet these requirements and insurance to cover this liability is prohibitively
costly for these smaller operators. 3. Free competitive access to the business of distributing petroleum therefore requires
a system of funding this liability in which all engaged in the business must participate
equitably. 4. The fee imposed by NRS 445C.330 is not an excise tax but a fee for engaging in the refining or importation of motor
vehicle fuel, diesel fuel of grade number 1, diesel fuel of grade number 2 and heating
oil.
