AI Summary

This bill modifies appropriations for the Department of Water, Energy, and Environment, specifically amending Section 280 of Laws 2025. The changes involve adjusting the funding allocated to the Environmental Quality Program, with a notable increase in General Funds for the FY2026-27 fiscal year, bringing the total for that year to $132,884,639. A significant portion of this increase, $38,000,000 in General Funds, is designated for FY2026-27 to provide a grant to a first-class city operating a publicly owned wastewater treatment facility that faces capacity or compliance issues due to increased industrial wastewater load from a specific food ingredient manufacturing facility. The bill also repeals the original Section 280 and declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
