Generally revise water quality standards laws

This bill (LC 1855) aimed to update state water quality standards laws but was never enacted. It would have revised rules governing pollutants in waterways, directly affecting water regulators, industries discharging wastewater, and communities relying on clean water sources. The proposed changes included modernizing testing methods and setting updated limits for contaminants. However, the draft was placed on hold and ultimately died in the legislative process on May 27, 2025, meaning no policy changes were implemented.
