This bill proposes updates to the existing statutes regarding the Water Conservation Grant Fund by introducing new requirements for eligible entities applying for grants. Specifically, it mandates that entities receiving water from a multi-county water conservation district must disclose projected water savings, the source of the water to be saved (indicating whether it is groundwater or surface water), and their plan for the saved water in their grant applications. The definition of "eligible entity" will remain consistent with the existing statute, ensuring clarity in who can apply for these grants.

Additionally, the bill makes technical changes, including the correction of the term "nongovernment" to "non governmental" and clarifies that the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA) must adopt implementation rules within ninety days of the bill's effective date. Overall, these updates aim to enhance transparency and accountability in the grant application process while maintaining the core structure of the existing law.
