AI Summary

This bill amends the Environmental Safety Act by shifting regulatory authority for swimming pools, recreation camps, and mobile home parks from the state's Department of Water, Energy, and Environment to local governments, such as counties, cities, and villages. It redefines "local government" to include these entities and eliminates provisions related to private water and sewage disposal facilities, as well as the Environmental Safety Cash Fund. The bill also updates findings regarding environmental safety, clarifies the State Fire Marshal's role in inspecting mobile home parks upon request from local governments, and repeals numerous sections of existing law to reflect these changes, aiming to streamline and localize these environmental safety regulations.
