A bill for an act relating to storm water drainage system services by creating exemptions for service charges.(Formerly SSB 1140.)

This bill aims to change how service charges for storm water drainage systems are applied by creating certain exemptions. This means that some property owners or entities may not have to pay these charges under specific circumstances. The goal is to provide relief to those affected by these fees.

Supporters of the bill argue that it will help ease the financial burden on property owners who are struggling with high service charges for storm water drainage. By providing exemptions, the bill is seen as a way to promote fairness and support local communities in managing their storm water systems effectively.

Critics of the bill contend that creating exemptions for storm water service charges could lead to a loss of necessary funding for vital drainage services. They worry that this could ultimately compromise the effectiveness of storm water management, potentially leading to increased flooding and environmental issues.
