It requires counties, municipalities, and special districts that provide wastewater and stormwater management services to develop 20-year needs analyses and submit them to the Office of Economic and Demographic Research for inclusion in the office's annual assessment of the state's water resources. The bill also exempts counties and independent special districts from certain permitting requirements when constructing or maintaining water supply or sewage disposal systems on sovereign submerged lands, and declares that the act fulfills an important state interest.
