After initial moneys 2 2 are appropriated, the remaining amount is allocated according 2 3 to a formula.

The next 2 percent is 2 6 appropriated to the department of natural resources, which, 2 7 after taking an amount for administrative expenses, transfers 2 8 the moneys to the Iowa department of public health for the 2 9 purpose of administering grants to counties. The grants are 2 10 to be used for the testing of private rural water supply 2 11 wells, private rural water supply well sealing, and the proper 2 12 closure of private rural abandoned wells and cisterns. 2 13 The bill reduces the appropriation made to the Leopold 2 14 center by one-half percent and increases the appropriation 2 15 made to support the grants to counties by the same amount. 2 16 LSB 6091YC 80 2 17 da/sh/8
