SB222

The amendment gutted the bill's detailed grant eligibility framework—which specified per-person cost limits varying by population size and allowed exceptions for regional projects—and replaced it with a simple $10,000,000 split: $2,000,000 for water/wastewater/storm water projects and $8,000,000 for riparian buffer initiatives, shifting from a complex needs-based system to a straightforward funding allocation with minimal eligibility criteria specified.

This amendment converted the bill from an engrossed draft version to its final enrolled form, removing internal legislative markup indicators and adding standard enrollment signatures and certification pages required for passage into law. The substantive provisions of the bill—appropriating $10,000,000 for water, wastewater, storm water, and riparian buffer projects—remain unchanged.
