The bill increases the bonding authority for the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program to fund lead service line replacements.

20.866(2)(td)

~~$3,550,000~~ → $274,950,000

This change increases the state's public debt authority for the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program from $3,550,000 to $274,950,000.
281.61(8)(b)

The department of administration shall allocate not more than $200,000,000 from proceeds of public debt authorized under s. 20.866 (2) (td) to projects involving forgivable loans to private users of public water systems to cover not more than 50 percent of the cost to replace lead service lines.

This addition establishes that the Department of Administration must allocate $200,000,000 to projects for forgivable loans related to lead service line replacements.
13.48(26m)

Lead service line replacement. The legislature finds and determines that the prevalence of lead service lines in connections to public water systems poses a public health hazard and that processes for reducing lead entering drinking water from such pipes requires additional treatment of wastewater. It is therefore in the public interest, and it is the public policy of this state, to assist private users of public water systems in replacing lead service lines.

This new section declares the state's public policy regarding the replacement of lead service lines due to associated health hazards.
