Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources administers the Safe
Drinking Water Loan Program, which provides low-interest loans to municipalities
for drinking water infrastructure projects, to help them comply with federal drinking
water standards. A loan approved under this program must be fully amortized not
later than 20 years after the original date of the financial assistance agreement, and
the repayment of principal and interest, if any, must begin not later than 12 months
after the expected date of completion of the project that it funds, as determined by
the department of administration.
Under this bill, such a loan must be fully amortized not later than 30 years after
the expected date of completion of the project that it funds, as determined by the
department of administration, and the repayment of principal and interest, if any,
must begin not later than 18 months after the expected date of completion of the
project that it funds, as determined by the department of administration.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
