Bill > LB580

This bill appropriates remaining funds from the Lead Service Line Cash Fund to the Department of Environment and Energy for fiscal year 2025-26, specifically for two purposes: first, to support lead service line replacements in accordance with section 71-5328, and second, to provide grants to metropolitan utilities districts for lead service line replacements. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately upon being passed and approved, allowing for quick implementation of the fund reallocation. Lead service lines are water pipes that connect a home's internal plumbing to the main water line and can pose significant health risks if they contain lead, so this bill appears aimed at supporting the replacement of these potentially hazardous infrastructure components.
