The bill proposes an amendment to Article VII, Section 14(B) of the Louisiana Constitution, allowing the use of public funds by political subdivisions for the identification, inventory, removal, or replacement of drinking water utility service lines that are made of or affected by hazardous materials as specified by the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This amendment aims to address public health concerns related to drinking water quality and infrastructure.

Additionally, the bill deletes the provision that allowed political subdivisions to waive charges for water lost due to damage to the water delivery infrastructure, provided that the damage was not caused by the customer. The proposed amendment will be submitted to voters in a statewide election scheduled for November 3, 2026, where they will have the opportunity to vote on whether to approve this change to the Constitution.
