AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure that all legally required environmental and water testing is enforced and funded, even when public budgets face challenges. It provides several mechanisms to enable the necessary testing, including voluntary contributions, agreed-upon funding transfers, and a Tax Donation Credit that allows individuals or organizations to recover the costs of required testing on their tax returns. The bill also allows for the advancement of testing schedules if there are unreasonable delays, and provides a way for interested parties to seek a court order to obtain reasonable testing in the public interest.
