Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance
Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Provides that an owner or operator of a community water supply may, by an additional method approved by the State, give written notice of the existence of lead service lines that are connected to buildings. Provides that an owner or operator of a community water supply that performs at least 4,000 lead service line replacements per year or exceeds a statutorily prescribed lead service line replacement rate is exempt from a provision that prohibits partial lead service line replacements. Provides that, in a municipality with a population of more than 1,000,000 inhabitants, the owner of a private property upon which there is located a renter-occupied building, a building that is used as a day care, or a multi-dwelling building must allow the community water supply access to replace the lead service line on the private side of the property.
Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Deletes provisions added by the introduced bill that exempted from specified requirements a community water supply that has performed at least 4,000 lead service line replacements per year since 2025 or that exceeded certain specifications. Provides that, in a municipality with a population of more than 1,000,000 inhabitants, the owner of private property (rather than the owner of private property upon which there is located a renter-occupied building, a building that is used as a day care, or a multi-dwelling building) must allow the community water supply or the community water supply's contractor (rather than only the community water supply) access to the property to replace, on the private side of the property, the lead service line or the galvanized requiring replacement service line (rather than only the lead service line) if the community water supply is offering the replacement at no cost to the property owner. Specifies that, if the owner of the private property is unavailable or unwilling to provide consent to replace the lead service line or the galvanized requiring replacement service line, any legal occupant of the private property where the service line is located may provide consent for access to the community water supply or the community water supply's contractor. Provides that the legal occupant shall be held harmless for providing access, completing forms, or for the completion of replacements of the lead service line or the galvanized requiring replacement service line. Effective immediately.
Senate Floor Amendment No. 3
In provisions regarding a landowner's duty to allow the community water supply access to replace the lead service line or the galvanized requiring replacement service line if the community water supply is offering such a replacement at no cost, deletes a requirement that limits the application of the provisions to a municipality with a population of more than 1,000,000 inhabitants.
