An act relating to dam safety

Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill establishes a pilot project for the Division of Emergency Management to create emergency operations plans for two state-owned, high-hazard dams. These plans will outline actions for affected municipalities in case of dam failure, considering vulnerable populations and communication systems. The bill also includes funding for this project and requires a report by July 1, 2028, with recommendations for future dam safety planning across the state.
