Bill > SB222

This bill appropriates $10,000,000 from the state's general fund to the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources to provide grants for various infrastructure and environmental projects. Specifically, $2,000,000 is designated for eligible water, wastewater, and storm water projects that must be approved by the Board of Water and Natural Resources and included in the state water plan, while the remaining $8,000,000 is allocated for statewide riparian buffer initiative projects, which are areas along rivers and streams that help protect water quality. The bill also outlines the process for approving expenditures and states that any unspent funds will revert according to established procedures, and declares an emergency to allow the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
