BE IT ENACTED BY THE ATLASIAN SENATE.

This shall include the repair and/or replacement of public and private water service lines, the inspection of public and/or private water service lines, and corrosion control programs to optimize public and/or private water service lines.

2. To fund this program a special tax is hereby assessed on the net income of Lead Acid Battery manufacturers, sellers, and recyclers at 2% through fiscal year 2026 at which time such tax shall expire.

3. This act shall take effect immediately.

Lead pipes are still out there and can greatly harm people, usually low-income. This bill is a good idea and continues Senator Koopa's similar lead advocacy efforts from Lincoln. I googled the lead acid battery market domestically and figures estimate a growing market that made a little over $12 Billion ib profits last year. 2% over 4 years would add up to the $1 Billion requested so this would be budget neutral. Well done Koopa.

Thanks. I supported efforts to decrease a reliance on lead in Lincoln, and I will support any effort to do similar things nationwide.
