OLYMPIA -- The House passed a revised version of the oil  transportation safety bill, which would charge fees on oil shipments to help pay for preparations and cleanup of future spills.

Originally drafted and passed in the Senate to focus on oil trains, the House amended it to include pipeline shipments in an 8 cent per barrel tax, and require studies to update safety for marine shipments. Railroads would also see increased fees to help pay for improvements in crossings, be required to have spill cleanup contingency plans and oil facilities would have to give the weekly advance notice on shipments to the state Department of Ecology.

Under an amendment by Rep. Matt Shea, R-Spokane Valley, the House removed a provision to increase the size of crews on oil trains. Shea said such staffing levels are controlled by federal law, and trying to increase them by state law would invite litigation.

The final bill passed on a 58-40 vote, with all Spokane-area Republicans voting no, and its two Democrats voting yes.
