Application of increased funding for water infrastructure grants clarification

This bill clarifies that the increased maximum grant amount for water infrastructure projects, established in 2025 legislation, applies to all projects with grant agreements signed on or after September 1, 2024. It directly affects local governments and water utilities seeking state funding for infrastructure upgrades by ensuring they can access the higher grant limits. The key provision specifies the effective date for this funding availability, removing ambiguity about which projects qualify for the enhanced support under Minnesota Statutes section 446A.072, subdivision 5a.
