Bill > S02238

This bill provides for a personal income tax deduction, once every three years up to six hundred dollars, for the testing of potable well water by a certified laboratory. To qualify for the deduction, the well water testing must be conducted by a state-certified laboratory, which must notify the property owner if the well water sample exceeds the standards for potable drinking water set by the Department of Health. The property owner must then report any violation of the drinking water standards to the local municipal health department.
