Section 270.70  Reimbursement to the Fund by Other Sources

a)         In the event reimbursement is to be made to the Office:

1)         Payment shall be made by check or money order payable to the "Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Reimbursement Fund."

2)         Payment may be made directly by the Responsible Party.

b)         A voluntary contribution to the Fund, or directly to an Emergency Response Agency, does not constitute an admission of responsibility relative to this Act, or to any other state or federal laws or regulations.

c)         If no party to the incident provides reimbursement to the Emergency Response Agency or to the Fund, the State Fire Marshal may request the Attorney General to initiate a civil action to recover costs.
