What it does
The bill amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to modify eligibility for the State response to contaminants program by expanding who can receive assistance, including disadvantaged communities, small communities lacking financial capacity, and owners of private drinking water wells not connected to public systems. It revises technical language in Section 1459A(j) to clarify eligibility criteria, such as replacing outdated references and adjusting phrasing about contaminant presence and community service. The changes allow states to request grants on behalf of qualifying communities or for the benefit of private well owners affected by contaminants.
