## Summary

**Clarifies that using bond proceeds to replace privately owned portions of lead service lines does not count as "private business use" under the tax code.** This defines who and what qualifies as a "qualified lead service line replacement use" tied to national lead drinking water rules. - Families and homeowners with privately owned lead service lines may see clearer paths to publicly financed replacements because proceeds used for those private portions are expressly treated as not private business use. - Public water systems can use proceeds to replace privately owned portions of lead service lines to facilitate or maintain compliance with a national primary drinking water regulation for lead. - State and local issuers can treat obligations issued for these replacements under the clarified rule as not private business use. This rule applies to obligations issued after December 31, 2025.
