Providing additional requirements for applications to the water technical assistance fund and the water projects grant fund, including the requirement that applicants demonstrate the availability of a 25-year water supply, prohibiting grants for issues related to water rights that are impaired by another other water right, prioritizing applications based on various criteria and mandating annual submissions on September 15.

This bill changes how Kansas manages water funds by adding new rules for grants. Municipalities applying for water distribution grants must show they have a 25-year water supply, unless the project will extend it further. Grants will not be given for issues related to water rights being harmed by others, and applications will be scored based on public health, resource management, population, funding, and weather resilience. Applications are due September 15th annually, and grants can be revoked and must be repaid under certain conditions.
