What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Current law prohibits the discharge of wastewater from a point source (such as a pipe) to surface water or groundwater without a permit from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The law generally prohibits DNR from requiring more than one wastewater discharge permit for a publicly owned sewage treatment facility or system, regardless of the number of point sources from the system.

This bill eliminates the prohibition on DNR requiring more than one wastewater discharge permit for a publicly owned sewage treatment or collection system.
