AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure that all legally required environmental and water testing is enforced and properly funded. It proposes two key mechanisms to achieve this: 1) Allowing for voluntary contributions or agreed-upon funding from individuals, property owners, or organizations to cover the costs of legally required testing, and 2) Establishing a Tax Donation Credit (TDC) that can be used on tax returns by those who bear the cost of necessary testing that would otherwise be paid for by public funds. The bill recognizes that public budget constraints can sometimes lead to delays in essential environmental and water testing, and seeks to provide alternative financing options to ensure these vital tests are conducted.
