Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to including stormwater in the definition of sewage for purposes of certain water, sewer, and water and sewer authorities

AI Summary

This bill amends the Public Authorities Law to include stormwater in the definition of sewage for the purposes of certain water, sewer, and water and sewer authorities. It defines "stormwater" as a flow of water occurring on the ground or other surface when rain or meltwater can no longer be absorbed by the soil or other surface. This change expands the scope of what is considered sewage, which has implications for the authorities' responsibilities and operations related to water and wastewater management.
