CCS HCS SCS SB 242 -- SEWER DISTRICTS

(Vetoed by the Governor)

This bill changes the laws regarding sewer districts.  In its
main provisions, the bill:

(1)  Prohibits the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District from
assessing a district residential property owner any fee, charge,
or tax for storm water management services if the district does
not directly provide sanitary sewer services to the property and
the storm water runoff from the property does not flow or is not
otherwise conveyed to a sewer maintained by the district;

(2)  Provides an alternative procedure for issuing bonds for a
common sewer subdistrict partially or completely located in Cass
County by allowing the subdistrict to issue bonds if it receives
approval from three-quarters of the customers of the subdistrict
as specified in the bill; and

(3)  Prohibits the City of Arnold from imposing a storm water
usage fee based on the runoff rate of storm water on impervious
surfaces on property owned by a church, public school, nonprofit
organization, or political subdivision.

The bill contains an emergency clause for the provisions
regarding the alternative procedure for issuing bonds in Cass
County.
