The sponsor's argument

Why Pete Harckham says this is needed

Clean water is not only essential for personal health but also for protecting ecosystems and natural resources. Often situated in vulner- able ecological areas, correctional facilities have the potential to impact local water sources and surrounding environments. By ensuring that water quality information is readily available, the bill encourages correctional facilities to prioritize sustainable water management prac- tices that reduce pollution, protect aquatic habitats, and preserve ecosystems. Through transparency and accountability, this bill not only advances environmental protection but also strengthens the relationship between correctional facilities and the communities in which they operate. By safeguarding the water quality within correctional facilities, we not only protect the health of incarcerated individuals but promote the responsible use of water resources, contributing to long-term ecological resilience.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
