Bonding for nonpoint source water pollution abatement
Under current law, the state may contract up to $57,050,000 in public debt to provide financial assistance for projects that control pollution that comes from diffuse sources rather than a single concentrated discharge source in areas that qualify as high priority due to water quality problems. This bill increases the bonding authority for these projects by $10,000,000.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
