MODERATE

This bill version was amended to update the legislative process tracking and adjust the effective date of the infrastructure program. The primary substantive change is shifting the program's start date from a fixed calendar date (April 1, 2026) to a relative timeframe (180 days or one year after the law takes effect), providing more flexibility for implementation.

Scope change

The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; it still applies to county, city, town, village, and public authority-owned drinking water, storm water, and sanitary sewer systems, excluding private entities.

TIMELINE

Changed the program start date from April 1, 2026 to 180 days after the effective date of the section, allowing for more flexible implementation timing.

Updated the fiscal year funding distribution start date from April 1, 2027 to one year after the effective date of the section.

TECHNICAL

Added legislative process tracking showing the bill was re-referred to the Committee on Environmental Conservation and reported favorably from that committee again.

Updated sponsor list to include new sponsors (COMRIE, FERNANDEZ, C. RYAN, WALCZYK) and remove former sponsors (HELING, KAVANAGH, MATTERA, MAY, MURRAY, RHOADS, ROLISON, STEC, TEDISCO, WEBB, WEBER).
