                        A BILL FOR AN ACT
Relating to sanitary district treatment works.
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
  SECTION 1.  { + Notwithstanding contrary provisions of rules
adopted to administer financial and other assistance for
municipalities from the Special Public Works Fund that qualify
municipal eligibility for grants or loans in part on the results
of an income study, a sanitary district is eligible for grant and
loan funding and other assistance if, on January 1, 2011:
  (1) The district was subject to an order in a formal
enforcement action issued by the Department of Environmental
Quality to improve treatment works, as defined in ORS 454.010, to
meet more stringent discharge standards;
  (2) The district served fewer than 175 individuals; and
  (3) The most recent income study for households in the district
found that the income of five percent or fewer of the households
in the district was disproportionately high and skewed the
overall income results for households in the sanitary
district. + }
