What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill subjects municipal storm water utilities other than metropolitan sewerage districts to the full authority of the Public Service Commission to regulate rates and services. Current law authorizes municipalities to construct and operate systems for collecting, transporting, pumping, treating, or disposing storm water and surface water and to establish service charges to meet the costs of any of the following requirements of such a system: constructing, reconstructing, improving, extending, operating, maintaining, repairing, or depreciating the system or paying the principal and interest of any indebtedness incurred for the system. Under current law, municipal storm water utilities are generally not subject to PSC's jurisdiction, except for addressing complaints by users that municipal storm water utility rates, rules, or practices are unreasonable or unjustly discriminatory.
