This bill appropriates funds to the Department of Environment and Energy specifically for lead service line replacements. It reappropriates any remaining funds in the Lead Service Line Cash Fund for the fiscal year 2025-26, designating these funds for lead service line replacements in accordance with section 71-5328. Additionally, any unallocated funds from this cash fund that are not designated for qualified labor training organizations will also be reappropriated for grants to metropolitan utilities districts for the same purpose.

The bill emphasizes the urgency of the matter by declaring an emergency, which allows it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. This legislative action aims to enhance public health and safety by addressing lead service line issues in Nebraska.
