The bill provides that, for a park owner who is also a park resident, the owner may nonetheless bear this cost.</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>The program authorizes the division to issue orders requiring the park owner to perform additional water testing, perform temporary measures necessary to address acute health risks, make additional reports to the division, create a remediation plan, implement a remediation plan, or respond to the division in connection with a remediation plan.
