within eight (8) years considering the circumstances of the owner.

(m) The liability imposed by subsection (l) is a lien upon the property receiving the exemption under subsection (i). An amount collected under subsection (l) shall be collected as an excess levy. If
the amount is not paid, it shall be collected in the same manner that
delinquent taxes on real property are collected.

who shall, within fifteen (15) days of the inspection, file a written report with the commissioner listing all unsafe, unsanitary, or unhealthy conditions within a facility that constitute a menace to the
health, safety, and welfare of committed persons or department
employees. In determining whether conditions are unsafe, unsanitary,
or unhealthy, the state department of health and the state fire marshal
shall consider the degree of overcrowding, the light, air, and space
available to offenders within a facility, the size and arrangement of
rooms and cells, the sanitary facilities, and the extent to which
conditions in a facility endanger life or property.
(c) The commissioner shall correct all unsafe, unsanitary, or
unhealthy conditions reported by the state department of health or the
state fire marshal with reasonable promptness. Failure by the
department to initiate and continue action to correct unsafe, unsanitary,
or unhealthy conditions within thirty (30) days of receiving a report of
those conditions from the state department of health or the state fire
marshal constitutes noncompliance with this subsection. Upon such
noncompliance, the commissioner shall submit to the reporting agency
and the governor a written statement explaining:
(1) why the reported condition or conditions have not been
remedied;
(2) what the estimated cost of remedying the reported condition
or conditions would be in terms of construction, renovation,
manpower, space, and equipment;
(3) whether the reported condition or conditions can be corrected
by using facilities of other governmental entities;
(4) whether additional state financing is required and, if so, the
estimated amount needed; and
(5) the probable consequences of not remedying each reported
unsafe, unsanitary, or unhealthy condition.
(d) Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, the state
department of health and state fire marshal retain authority to correct
unhealthy, unsanitary, or unsafe conditions within a facility as provided
by law.
