Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Assembly Bill No. 20 expand the eligibility for funding from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund. Previously, only municipalities and interstate agencies could receive assistance, but the new changes allow any legal entity that meets federal criteria to be eligible as well. This change is significant because it broadens the scope of organizations that can access critical funding for water infrastructure and pollution control projects, potentially enhancing the state’s ability to address these important environmental issues more effectively.
