The bill amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to add a new section, 15a, which stipulates that if an adult foster care facility is supplied by well water that meets certain criteria—specifically, having sufficient volume and not exceeding permissible contaminant levels—then local governments or authorities cannot mandate that the facility connect to an alternative waterworks system.

Additionally, the bill defines "adult foster care facility" as one that provides care to 50 or fewer residents, in accordance with the existing Adult Foster Care Facilities Licensing Act. This amendment aims to protect adult foster care facilities that rely on compliant well water from unnecessary regulatory burdens regarding water supply connections.
