Michigan § 141.1066b - State drinking water revolving fund.

The authority shall establish a state drinking water revolving fund that complies with the requirements and objectives of the federal safe drinking water act. The authority shall establish accounts and subaccounts within the state drinking water revolving fund as it determines is necessary or appropriate to operate the state drinking water revolving fund. The accounts and subaccounts may include, but are not limited to, accounts or subaccounts established for any of the purposes authorized in section 5417(c) of part 54 (safe drinking water assistance) of the natural resources and environmental protection act, 1994 PA 451, MCL 324.5417. At the close of a fiscal year, money in an account or subaccount established under this section shall remain in the account or subaccount, shall not lapse to the general fund, and shall be carried forward to the following year as permitted in the federal safe drinking water act. The authority may fund the state drinking water revolving fund through federal grants, revenues of the authority, or through any other means permitted under the federal safe drinking water act and the rules promulgated under that act. The authority may provide assistance as that term is defined in part 54 (safe drinking water assistance) of the natural resources and environmental protection act, 1994 PA 451, MCL 324.5401 to 324.5418, to a governmental unit for a community water supply or a noncommunity water supply with proceeds of the state drinking water revolving fund. If the assistance is in the form of a loan, the loan shall be made through a loan agreement in which a governmental unit agrees to make loan repayments to the authority or through the purchase or refinancing of municipal obligations in fully marketable form. Loan agreements with governmental units shall contain appropriate provisions relating to maturity or length of loan, repayment terms, state or local funding requirements, and other provisions as are necessary to comply with the provisions of the federal safe drinking water act and any agreements entered into with the federal government for implementation of the federal safe drinking water act. Community water supplies and noncommunity water supplies eligible for assistance from the state drinking water revolving fund shall be determined pursuant to part 54 (safe drinking water assistance) of the natural resources and environmental protection act, 1994 PA 451, MCL 324.5401 to 324.5418. The maximum amount of any municipal obligation purchased with proceeds of the state drinking water revolving fund and the maximum interest rate on a loan or municipal obligation shall be determined pursuant to part 54 (safe drinking water assistance) of the natural resources and environmental protection act, 1994 PA 451, MCL 324.5401 to 324.5418.
