LB 580 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Appropriate funds to the Department of Environment and Energy

LB 580 reallocates remaining funds from the Lead Service Line Cash Fund to the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy for FY2025-26. It directs these funds toward replacing lead service lines in public water systems, specifically providing grants to metropolitan utilities districts for this purpose. The bill uses leftover money not previously allocated for labor training programs. It declares an emergency, meaning it takes effect immediately upon approval. This bill directly affects water utilities in Nebraska's metropolitan areas by funding lead pipe replacement projects.
