Bill > SB1504

This bill extends the sunset date (the date when a law automatically expires) of the Cesspool Compliance Pilot Grant Project from June 30, 2028, to June 30, 2038. A cesspool is a type of wastewater disposal system that collects sewage in an underground pit, which is common in older properties and can pose environmental and health risks. By extending the sunset date, the legislature is ensuring that the pilot project, which likely provides grants to help property owners replace or upgrade cesspools with more environmentally friendly wastewater systems, will continue for an additional decade. The bill specifies that the changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving state agencies and potential grant recipients advance notice of the extended timeline for the pilot project.
