Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill HB 1241 clarifies that the use of water-based cleaners during noncommercial fundraising activities is allowed, and it ensures that permits under Virginia's State Water Control Law won't restrict discharging the resulting washwater into storm sewer systems. This change is important because it supports community events while still being mindful of environmental regulations, making it easier for organizations to hold fundraising car washes without facing legal hurdles.
