Failed to pass pursuant to Senate Joint Resolution 1
Summary
The bill establishes a permanent state water fund to finance clean‑water activities and a rapid‑response account for natural‑disaster and public‑health emergencies. It creates a bipartisan joint legislative committee to review fund applications and to recommend transfers, and moves $250 million from the general fund into the new water fund. State agencies such as the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Health Services would draw on the rapid‑response account, while the budget stabilization fund can receive transfers if needed.
