AN ACT relating to metropolitan sewer districts.

This bill would require a city or local government to approve any sewer rate increase that exceeds the rate of inflation before it can take effect, giving elected officials more oversight over how much metropolitan sewer districts can charge. It also places restrictions on what those districts are allowed to spend their funds on. Who it may affect: residents and businesses served by metropolitan sewer districts, and local government officials who would gain approval authority over rate changes.
