 Introduced by Sen. SKOUFIS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to
 establishing the wastewater infrastructure and drinking water program

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The environmental conservation law is amended by adding a
 2 new section 3-0322 to read as follows:
 3 § 3-0322. Wastewater infrastructure and drinking water program.
 4 1. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter or any other
 5 law, rule or regulation, and subject to an appropriation made therefor
 6 and in accordance with the provisions of this section and with the rules
 7 and regulations promulgated by the commissioner in connection therewith,
 8 on and after the first day of April, two thousand twenty-six, a wastewa-
 9 ter infrastructure and drinking water program is hereby established for
 10 the purpose of making payments toward the replacement and rehabilitation
 11 of existing local municipally-owned and funded drinking water, storm
 12 water and sanitary sewer systems. For purposes of this section, such
 13 program shall apply to any drinking water system, storm water system or
 14 sanitary sewer system within the state that is under the maintenance
 15 and/or operational jurisdiction of a county, city, town, village or
 16 public authority; provided, however, that such system shall not be under
 17 the maintenance and/or operational jurisdiction of a private entity. The
 18 commissioner, in conjunction with the environmental facilities corpo-
 19 ration, shall promulgate all necessary rules and regulations to carry
 20 out the program so that an equitable distribution of aid shall be made
 21 for the general operation and/or general maintenance of any such exist-
 22 ing drinking water system, storm water system or sanitary sewer system.
 23 2. Such program shall offer grants to municipalities to help pay for
 24 the initial planning of eligible Clean Water State Revolving Fund
 25 (CWSRF) water quality projects.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 16 plan (i.e. Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), Nine Element Watershed Plan,
