What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) administers

a safe drinking water program. Current law prohibits DNR from requiring a

municipal water system to provide continuous disinfection of the water that it

provides unless federal law requires it or water quality data, well construction, or

water system construction indicates a potential health hazard.

This bill requires a municipal water system to provide continuous disinfection

of the water that it provides.
