A bill to amend the Safe Drinking Water Act to modify eligibility for the State response to contaminants program, and for other purposes.

This bill (S 1324) makes technical corrections to the Safe Drinking Water Act's eligibility rules for states seeking assistance under the State Response to Contaminants program. It clarifies who qualifies for federal grants, specifically allowing states to apply on behalf of: (1) disadvantaged communities meeting state affordability criteria, (2) small communities (under 10,000 people) lacking debt capacity, or (3) private drinking water well owners not connected to public systems. The changes streamline how states identify eligible communities and well owners for funding to address water contaminants. This is a procedural adjustment to existing program rules, not a new policy.
