The bill appropriates $16,600,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026 to the Public Facilities Authority. This funding is designated for a grant to the city of Hastings, specifically aimed at predesigning, designing, constructing, and equipping three water treatment plants along with associated water mains. The primary goal of these facilities is to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from the city's wells, addressing a significant public health concern.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that the section will take effect the day following its final enactment. This ensures that the funding and associated projects can commence promptly to improve the water quality in Hastings.
