What changed in the latest version

Plain-language change summary

The updated version of HB 192 removes a requirement that facilities using rainwater and gray water must operate on the same property or nearby land under common ownership as the treatment works. This change broadens the potential for facilities to utilize these water sources, as they are no longer restricted by property boundaries. This matters because it encourages more efficient water use across a wider range of facilities, promoting sustainability and potentially reducing water costs.
