This bill amends the Montana coal endowment program to include public swimming pools as eligible projects for funding. Specifically, it revises the definition of "infrastructure projects" to add "public swimming pools" alongside existing categories such as drinking water systems, wastewater treatment, and solid waste disposal systems. This inclusion aims to provide financial assistance for the repair and maintenance of public swimming pools using resources from the Montana coal endowment fund.
Additionally, the bill clarifies the definitions related to the Montana coal endowment program, ensuring that local governments, including cities, counties, and tribal governments, can access funding for these infrastructure projects. The amendment to Section 90-6-701, MCA, reflects a broader understanding of infrastructure needs within communities, recognizing the importance of public swimming pools as vital recreational facilities.
