Bill Summary

Relative to environmental and water testing requirements. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure that all environmental and water testing required by law is enforced and funded, even when public budgets are challenged. It provides alternative financing mechanisms, such as voluntary contributions, agreed-upon funding from individuals or organizations, and a Tax Donation Credit (TDC) that can be used to offset the cost of required testing. The bill also allows for the authorization of advanced testing schedules by appropriate jurisdictional authorities and the possibility of court orders to obtain reasonable testing when there is an unreasonable delay and sufficient public interest.
