AI Summary

This bill would establish the Safe Drinking Water Fund and the Safe Drinking Water Trust to assist community water systems in disadvantaged communities that are chronically non-compliant with federal and state drinking water standards and lack the financial capacity to pay for operation and maintenance costs. The Safe Drinking Water Fund, continuously appropriated to the State Water Resources Control Board, would provide grants, loans, and other assistance to eligible applicants for operation and maintenance, consolidation, replacement water, and administrative/managerial services. The Safe Drinking Water Trust, managed by the Safe Drinking Water Trust Commission, would provide a perpetual source of funding to the Safe Drinking Water Fund through the transfer of net income from the trust. The trust principal would be funded by General Fund transfers during state budget surplus years.
