Plain-language change summary

The revised bill SB 1050 now specifies that a new permit for coal ash landfill storage cannot be approved if the facility is within one mile of a residential area lacking municipal water supply, unless the landfill operator offers to provide water services. Additionally, the language clarifies that this offer must be made in writing to residents and coordinated with the local water service authority. These changes are significant because they aim to protect communities that rely on well water by ensuring they have access to safe municipal water supplies if a coal ash landfill is proposed nearby.
