They are among the hundreds of bills that did not survive the Legislature's suspense file, a mysterious process where lawmakers decide -- with no explanation -- which bills will get a chance to become law later this year and which ones should not move forward.
"Today, we missed a key opportunity to advance legislation that would hold polluters accountable and prevent further harm to families who are just trying to stay healthy and have a better quality of life," Gonzalez said in a statement. "The billions of dollars and the fiscal mess that this bill would have caused to the State and local governments from their own liabilities, the fiscal responsibility of inherited wells, and the cost to the court system, would be substantial," Greene said in a statement.
Bills that were held in the Senate and Assembly appropriations committees are not likely to pass this year, with a June 2 deadline looming for legislation to advance from one chamber.
