What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to

administer a safe drinking water program and to establish all safeguards that DNR

determines to be necessary in protecting public health from impure drinking water

supplies. DNR has promulgated a rule that requires municipal drinking water

systems to provide continuous disinfection of the water that they provide, beginning

no later than December 1, 2013.

This bill prohibits DNR from requiring a municipal water system to provide

continuous disinfection of the water that it provides, unless continuous disinfection

is required under federal law.
