Making an appropriation to the department of environmental services for funding eligible wastewater projects.

Impact

The appropriation is expected to increase both state expenditures and local revenue significantly over the two fiscal years, with a total projected expenditure of $12,654,363. This investment is intended to not only assist in modernization and maintenance of wastewater treatment facilities throughout New Hampshire but also promote better environmental practices aligned with current state laws. Such a focus highlights the state's commitment to addressing environmental concerns through substantial funding for infrastructure projects.

Summary

House Bill 398 proposes an appropriation to the Department of Environmental Services specifically for funding eligible wastewater projects under RSA 486. The bill outlines an allocation of $5,735,248 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 and $6,919,115 for the following fiscal year, ending June 30, 2024. This funding aims to enhance and support statewide infrastructure aimed at wastewater management, potentially improving environmental health and compliance with state regulations.

Contention

While the bill received support, discussions may arise regarding the allocation of funds in relation to other pressing state needs. Critics may argue about prioritizing funding for wastewater projects over other essential services that also require financial assistance. Overall, the bill reflects a strategic focus on environmental health but may invoke debates about fiscal priorities within state budgets and potential impacts on other services.
