This bill proposes to amend 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 makes a minor revision to the definitions section by deleting the word "or" before the new insertion of "public swimming pools" in the list of infrastructure projects. This change clarifies that public swimming pools are now officially recognized as part of the infrastructure projects eligible for funding under the Montana coal endowment program. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance community resources by ensuring that public swimming pools receive necessary financial support for their upkeep.
