What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill provides that, when the Public Service Commission investigates a

complaint regarding Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District charges, rules, or

practices, the PSC must make its determination without deference to MMSD. The

bill also removes the presumption that, when the PSC reviews certain charges

established by MMSD, the user and service charges established by MMSD are

reasonable. Current law requires that user and service charges established by

MMSD are presumed reasonable in a review of those charges by the PSC.

This bill also prohibits MMSD from disconnecting sewerage service with a city,

village, town, sanitary district, or metropolitan sewerage district that contracts for

service with MMSD unless that disconnection is approved by the PSC.
