Rice County water quality improvement project appropriation and extension of a previous appropriation for that purpose

This bill appropriates a specific amount from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to provide a grant to Rice County for water quality improvement work at French Lake. It directly affects Rice County residents and French Lake by funding services like water testing, infrastructure upgrades, and maintenance. The bill also extends the deadline for using a prior grant (from 2023) for the same French Lake project until June 30, 2027. The key mechanisms are the new funding allocation and the extended timeline for existing water quality efforts.
