Bill Summary
CONCERNING WATER QUALITY IN MOBILE HOME PARKS.
AI Summary
This bill, concerning water quality in mobile home parks, clarifies and strengthens regulations by defining "risk to welfare" as a reasonable likelihood of negatively affecting individuals' ability to meet basic material needs, including financial impacts or the unsuitability of finished water for household uses like drinking, cooking, and bathing. It also grants the Division of Water Quality (referred to as the "DIVISION" instead of the "department") the authority to issue orders requiring park owners to comply with notifying residents about test results and allows the DIVISION to impose escalating civil penalties, up to $5,000 for each thirty-day period a violation continues, for failing to comply with remediation plans or cease-and-desist orders, with these penalties being considered final agency actions not subject to administrative hearings. Furthermore, the bill specifies that park owners, except for those who are also park residents, cannot pass the cost of compliance with certain remediation requirements onto park residents and clarifies the process for park owners to request a hearing on specific types of orders.
