This bill appropriates a total of $30 million to the Department of Environmental Services for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2027, specifically for eligible wastewater infrastructure projects. The funding is divided into two non-lapsing appropriations of $15 million each for the respective fiscal years. The funds will be used to make payments to communities for both new awards and for projects that have already received state aid grant funding, provided they are eligible and completed. Any remaining funds not utilized for existing grants may be allocated for new grants.

The bill also includes a provision that the appropriations shall be non-lapsing, meaning that the funds will not expire at the end of the fiscal year and can be carried over for future use. The effective date of the act is set for July 1, 2025. The fiscal impact indicates that while there are no new positions authorized, there will be an increase in expenditures from the General Fund for the appropriated amounts in the specified fiscal years.
