Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to waiving municipal utility connection charges 2 for certain properties; amending RCW 35.92.380; and adding a new 3 section to chapter 35.92 RCW. 4
AI Summary
This bill allows municipal utilities to waive connection charges for properties owned or developed by nonprofit organizations, public development authorities, housing authorities, or local agencies that provide emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, or affordable housing. The waived connection charges must be funded through general funds, grants, or other identified revenue streams. If a property no longer meets the eligibility requirements, the waiver is no longer required, and the connection charges become immediately due and payable. The bill also expands an existing law that allows cities and towns to waive or delay collection of utility connection fees for low-income individuals or classes of low-income individuals to include the types of organizations mentioned above.
