Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill SB 2512 expands the ability of county boards of supervisors to allocate federal funds for water and sewer infrastructure projects. Originally, the bill only allowed funding for rural water associations, but now it also includes water supply districts, regional utility districts, and municipalities. This change is significant because it enables more public entities to receive critical funding for improving water infrastructure, which can enhance service delivery and public health across communities.
