Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill SB 1259 includes a change in the title of the entity responsible for granting easements related to a public water supply system, switching from "Department of General Services" to "East Stroudsburg University." This modification clarifies that the university itself is authorized to manage these easements, rather than the state department. This change is important because it directly empowers the university to handle its own property and resources, allowing for more streamlined decision-making regarding local water supply needs.
