AI Summary
This bill requires the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation to prioritize water system projects for loans from the water system revolving loan fund if those projects are located in a "rural county," which is defined as any county with a population of less than 57,000 residents based on the 2020 census or any later federal census. This amendment aims to ensure that smaller, less populated areas have a better chance of receiving funding for necessary water infrastructure improvements.
