Bill > A10375

This bill provides for a personal income tax deduction, once every three years up to six hundred dollars, for the testing of potable (drinkable) well water by a certified laboratory. The deduction is available to property owners whose well water testing identifies any substances that need to be monitored under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act or New York state law. The certified laboratory must notify the property owner if the well water sample exceeds drinking water standards, and the property owner must then report the violation to the local health department.
