Communities struggling with decaying and contaminated properties are one step closer to revitalizing these sites, now that Assemblyman Mike Gatto’s (D-Los Angeles) AB 440 has cleared the Senate Committee on Environmental Quality, by a unanimous vote. Changes to state law in 2011 made it unclear whether local governments could use their existing powers to clean up contaminated properties, known as brownfields, and recover the costs of contamination from the responsible party. Gatto’s bill clears up the ambiguity by explicitly granting local governments these powers. The bill will also protect taxpayers and subsequent purchasers
