2public utility, the commission may not investigate, impose a penalty against, or bring
3an action to enjoin the public utility for failing to obtain a certificate of authority
4before commencing a project for which one is required under this section if all of the
5following apply:
SB312-SSA2,8,106 (a) The public utility undertook the project in response to a public health
7concern caused by PFAS, as defined in s. 292.315 (1), the presence of which was
8unknown to the public utility until shortly before it commenced the project, and the
9public utility provides evidence showing that the utility has exceeded or is likely to

SB312-SSA2,8,2417 281.58 (8e) (bm) If the department, when ranking projects under this
18subsection or determining an applicant's eligibility for assistance under this section,
19considers whether an applicant that intends to extend service outside the boundaries
20of a municipality because of water contamination is small or disadvantaged, the
21department shall, to the extent allowable under federal law, determine the applicant
22to be small or disadvantaged if the area receiving the extended service would
23normally be determined to be small or disadvantaged, regardless of whether the
24existing service area would normally be determined to be small or disadvantaged.
SB312-SSA2,5 25Section 5. 281.61 (6) of the statutes is amended to read:
SB312-SSA2,9,19
1281.61 (6) Priority list. The department shall establish a priority list that

5necessary to ensure compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 USC 300f to
6300j-26, and that assist applicants that are most in need on a per household basis,
7according to affordability criteria specified in the rules. For the purpose of ranking
8projects under this subsection, the department shall treat a project to upgrade a
9public water system to provide continuous disinfection of the water that it distributes
10as if the public water system were a surface water system that federal law requires

24eligible for a grant under the innocent landowner grant program under s. 292.34, and
25moneys are available under s. 292.34, the department shall refer the claim to the

1program under s. 292.34 instead of reviewing the claim under this section. If the

19been promulgated. The department shall base the amount of grant awards under
20this paragraph on the cost of testing and the amount of testing needed in each
21community, while ensuring that funding is available to every eligible applicant that
22submits a claim under this paragraph. The department may not require a

22paragraph may not exceed 50 percent of the municipality's capital or debt service
23costs, and no municipality may receive grants under this paragraph that total more
24than 20 percent of the funding available for grants under this paragraph. The

17under this chapter for PFAS, all of the following shall apply:
SB312-SSA2,15,2318 (a) If the department, or an entity contracted by the department, seeks to
19collect voluntary samples from lands not owned by the state based on permission
20from the landowner, such permission shall be in writing, and the department shall
21notify the landowner that such permission includes the authority to collect samples,

14to requests from any person to conduct PFAS testing on samples taken from the
15person's property if practicable and if funds are available to do so, if there is a
16reasonable belief that PFAS contamination may be present on the property, and if
17existing information such as public water supply testing data is not available. The
