Assembly Bill 703 proposes a grant of $200,000 from the Department of Natural Resources to the Town of Norway in Racine County for water abatement efforts. The bill creates a new section, 20.370 (6) (fx), in the statutes to facilitate this grant, which will be funded through the environmental fund and moneys received for nonpoint source water pollution abatement. The bill also includes a provision that mandates the Department of Natural Resources to award this grant by June 30, 2026.

Additionally, the bill repeals the newly created section 20.370 (6) (fx) effective July 1, 2027, indicating that the grant provision will be temporary. This legislative action aims to address water pollution issues in the Town of Norway while ensuring that the funding is allocated within a specified timeframe.
