Makes this Act inapplicable to any civil action in a State court against a business entity in which all parties are citizens of the State if such State, citing this Act's authority and containing no other provision, enacts a statute declaring the State's election that this Act shall not apply to such action in the State.
Reason: This Bill focuses on shielding business entities from civil liability relating to an injury or death depending on the conditions of injury, hence the generated summary is correct.

except as otherwise provided in this section.

subsection (a) shall not apply to--

or reported pursuant to any environmental law; or
(2) information with respect to a regulated entity's
specific intentional or willful violation of an environmental
law.
(c) Waiver.--Any entity entitled to a privilege of nondisclosure
under subsection (a) may waive such privilege by means of an express

information described in subsection (a) from any other entity for use

subsection (a), the person seeking disclosure may request an
administrative law judge (in the case of an administrative proceeding)
or the court (in the case of any civil or criminal proceeding) to
convene an in camera proceeding to determine the application of the
privilege. The administrative law judge or the court shall initiate
such a proceeding and require disclosure of such information to the
court under seal for purposes of making such determination. In any such
hearing, the entity asserting the privilege shall have the burden of
asserting a prima facie basis for the privilege and the person seeking
disclosure shall have the burden of persuasion that the privilege
should not apply.
(e) Civil Proceedings.--The privilege under subsection (a) shall
not apply in any civil proceeding if the administrative law judge (in
the case of an administrative proceeding) or the court (in the case of
a judicial proceeding) determines, in an in camera proceeding under
subsection (d), that--
(1) the report, finding, opinion, or other document or
communication or testimony indicates noncompliance with an
environmental law by such entity, and such entity failed to
initiate efforts to achieve compliance with the law within a
reasonable period of time in a manner consistent with
applicable provisions of law;
(2) such entity is asserting the applicability of the
privilege under this section for a fraudulent purpose; or
(3) the report was prepared for the purpose of avoiding
disclosure of information required for a then pending or
imminent specific investigative, administrative, or judicial
proceeding of which the regulated entity had knowledge.
Whenever an administrative law judge or a court has ruled under this
subsection that the privilege does or does not apply to any report,
finding, opinion, or other document or communication or testimony of
any entity, such entity may appeal such ruling to the appropriate
United States district court (in the case of an administrative law
judge) or to the appropriate court of appeals (in the case of a ruling
by a court) and such court shall review such ruling and issue a
decision on the appeal within 30 days after the filing of the appeal.
(f) Criminal Proceedings.--The privilege under subsection (a) shall
not apply in any criminal proceeding if the court, in an in camera
hearing, makes any determination referred to in subsection (e). A law
enforcement official, having probable cause (based upon information
obtained from a source independent of a voluntary environmental self-
evaluation report) to believe that a criminal offense has been
committed under any of the covered environmental laws and that the
report constitutes evidence of such offense, may obtain the report
pursuant to a lawful search and seizure. However, upon taking
possession of the report, the law enforcement official shall
immediately place it under seal and shall not review, disclose, or
otherwise use the contents of the report in any way, unless the person
or entity for whom the report was prepared expressly waives its
protected status pursuant to subsection (c) or the court determines
that the report is subject to disclosure in an in camera hearing under
subsection (d). During any such hearing, the court shall permit the
agency to review, but not to disclose or use the information for
purposes of any investigation or proceeding.

SEC. 4. IMMUNITY FOR CERTAIN VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURES.

(a) In General.--Whenever any entity has disclosed to the Federal
or State agency administering any environmental law information
relating to the violation by such entity of such environmental law as a
result of a voluntary environmental self-evaluation performed by such
entity or an environmental compliance management system used by such
entity, such entity and officers, employees, and agents of such entity
shall be immune from prosecution in any Federal or State
administrative, civil, or criminal proceeding regarding such violation
(other than a criminal proceeding for conduct involving specific intent
to violate the law), and the information disclosed shall not be
admissible in any court or administrative proceeding, if--
(1) such entity (or officer, employee, or agent) ensures
that the disclosure is made promptly after receiving knowledge
of the information;
(2) such entity (or officer, employee, or agent) initiates
efforts to achieve compliance in a manner consistent with
applicable provisions of law;
(3) such entity (or officer, employee, or agent) is not
asserting the applicability of the immunity under this section
for a fraudulent purpose;
(4) such information is not disclosed for the purpose of
avoiding penalties in an investigative, administrative, or
judicial proceeding that, at the time of disclosure, was
imminent or in progress; and
(5) such entity (or officer, employee, or agent) discloses
such other information relating to the violation as the agency
concerned reasonably requests, other than information subject
to a nondisclosure privilege under section 3 or under any other
authority of law.
(b) Exclusions.--The immunity under subsection (a) shall not apply
to an entity if the violation concerned is part of a pattern of
significant violations (counting any multiday occurrence stemming from
the same cause as a single violation) that has occurred within the past
3 years at the same facility or at different facilities under the
common control of a regulated entity whose senior management had actual
knowledge of the violations and failed to take timely corrective
action. For purposes of this section, a violation is any violation of
an environmental law identified in a judicial or administrative order,
consent agreement or order, conviction, or plea agreement.
(c) Procedure.--
(1) Presumption.--Whenever a regulated entity voluntarily
discloses to a Federal or State agency information relating to
the violation by such entity of an environmental law, if such
information was obtained as a result of a voluntary
environmental self-evaluation, or from an environmental
compliance management system, the entity shall be presumed to
be entitled to immunity under this section with respect to such
violation if the entity provides information supporting a claim
that the entity is qualified for such immunity at the time the
entity makes the disclosure. Such presumption shall be
conclusive unless challenged by the agency within 60 days of
the disclosure.
(2) Judicial determination.--An entity may request the
appropriate United States district court for a determination
regarding whether or not the immunity under subsection (a) is
applicable to such entity (or officer or employee or agent)
with respect to any violation.

SEC. 5. SAVINGS CLAUSE.

(a) Authority To Issue Certain Orders.--Nothing in this Act shall
be construed to affect the authority of a Federal or State agency
responsible for administering an environmental law to issue a cease and
desist order or to seek a temporary restraining order or injunction for
any violation of an environmental law.
(b) State Privileges and Immunities.--Nothing in this Act shall be
construed to limit any privilege against disclosure in effect under
State law. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to limit any immunity
available to any person under State law.

SEC. 6. EFFECTIVE DATE.

This Act shall take effect with respect to civil and criminal
proceedings commenced after the enactment of this Act.
