Purpose

The bill seeks to modify an existing capital investment undertaking related to the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District. It aims to extend the deadline for the use of funds that were appropriated in 2023.

Main Provisions

• The bill proposes an extension of the timeline in which allocated funds can be used for the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District project.
• It specifically focuses on the design, construction, and rehabilitation of four secondary clarifiers involved in the district's wastewater treatment system.
• The legislation extends the authorization period for the sale of bonds and the use of these funds, now effective until December 31, 2029.

Significant Changes
