Summary — SB 2866 (2025)

Title: Local governments and rural water systems improvements revolving loan and grant program; add PRVWSD.
Status: Died On Calendar
Introduced: March 14, 2025
Subjects: Accountability, Efficiency, Transparency; Energy; Ways and Means

Purpose / Intent

SB 2866 would have amended the existing revolving loan and grant program for local governments and rural water systems to add “PRVWSD” as an eligible participant/recipient. The bill’s stated intent was to expand access to state-supported financial assistance (loans and/or grants) for water-system improvements to include the entity referenced by the acronym PRVWSD.

(Note: the provided materials do not include the bill’s full text or a definition of PRVWSD. Consult the bill text for the precise legal name and jurisdictional details of PRVWSD.)

Key provisions (based on title and available information)

  • Add PRVWSD to the list of eligible recipients under the state’s revolving loan and grant program that supports local government and rural water system infrastructure improvements.
  • Enable PRVWSD to apply for program funds under the same terms and priorities that govern other eligible local governments and rural water systems.
  • No specific dollar amounts, funding sources, or changes to program administration are specified in the provided summary; the bill appears limited to expanding eligibility.

Who would be affected

  • PRVWSD: would gain formal eligibility to receive loans and/or grants from the state program for water-system projects.
  • Local governments and rural water systems in the same funding pool: may be affected by any change in demand for limited program funds if PRVWSD applies for funding.
  • Ratepayers and customers served by PRVWSD could indirectly benefit from expanded access to financing for capital improvements, maintenance, or compliance projects.

Legislative status and timeline

  • Filed / Received by Secretary of the Senate: March 14, 2025
  • Read first time / Referred to Finance: April 7, 2025
  • Earlier actions (committee referrals, votes): Passed (dates in Feb–Mar 2025 reflect action in one chamber and referral to committees in the other chamber); transmitted to the House on Feb 6, 2025; referred to Ways and Means and Accountability, Efficiency, Transparency on Feb 14, 2025.
  • Final status: Died On Calendar (bill did not reach final passage/enactment).

Potential impacts and considerations

  • If enacted, the main effect would be expanded access to state financing for the water entity named PRVWSD.
  • Program funding limits and priorities would shape the practical availability of funds; adding one eligible entity could increase competition for constrained program dollars.
  • Officials and stakeholders should review the full bill text to confirm the statutory changes, the exact definition of PRVWSD, and any administrative or compliance requirements imposed on newly eligible recipients.
