Appropriation; Progress Community Water Association for costs of an automated water meter.

HB 722 is a funding bill that would have provided $1,000,000 from the state general fund to the Progress Community Water Association in Lamar County for purchasing and installing automated water meters. It directly affects the water association and its customers by covering costs for upgrading their metering system. The bill specified funding for the 2025-2026 fiscal year but died in committee on February 26, 2025, meaning it did not become law. This is a straightforward appropriation with no policy changes beyond the funding allocation.
