OFA Fiscal Note
State Impact: None
Municipal Impact: None
Explanation
The bill requires commercial and residential property owners to
notify each tenant and the lessee of any rented property whenever the
property’s water supply is tested and exceeds any maximum
contaminant level in the Public Health Code or the Department of
Public Health’s state drinking water action level list. The bill also
requires the local health director to verify that the property owner has
notified tenants of the test results.
Municipalities have the staff expertise to handle this requirement;
thus there is no fiscal impact.
