Summary

The bill rewrites rules for the State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund, allowing the board to assess fees up to 1% of loan balances, removing the previous cap on combined interest rates and requiring loans to be below market rates. It also defines “incidental runoff” and permits spray from disinfected tertiary‑treated recycled water to enter outdoor eating areas in parks, while obligating the board to post all loan and grant programs online. These changes are intended to expand financing for water‑quality projects and promote safe reuse of recycled water.
