AI Summary
This bill aims to assist municipal and district ratepayers by requiring the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EOEEA) to consider the costs associated with water, wastewater, and stormwater system improvements. The bill defines "local mandates" as any EOEEA-initiated rule, regulation, or guidance document that imposes additional costs on cities or towns. It requires EOEEA to complete a regulatory impact statement before implementing any proposals related to water, wastewater, and/or stormwater, which must include an analysis of the financial impacts on stakeholders, including the public and private sectors. The bill also requires EOEEA to maintain a list of stakeholders to be notified of upcoming proposals and to comply with the Massachusetts Administrative Procedures Act when implementing these proposals.
