The bill amends Section 23-24.6-28 of the Lead Poisoning Prevention Act, specifically addressing the financing and reimbursement of private side lead service replacements. It establishes that costs for these replacements, financed by water suppliers' customers, will no longer be subject to appropriation by the General Assembly for state reimbursement.
The water supplier is required to submit requests for reimbursement for these costs. The act aims to streamline the reimbursement process for water suppliers who have financed lead service line replacements for their customers since January 1, 2018.
The bill takes effect upon passage.
