Upon receipt of written notice of violation, the operating company
shall have one hundred twenty (120) days to fully correct the

risk to public health, safety, or the environment.
B. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit or
restrict any other enforcement authority, penalty, or remedy
available to the state under existing law.
SECTION 2. This act shall become effective November 1, 2026.
