Bill > S02458

This bill amends the New York Public Authorities Law to extend the time limit for challenging fees, rates, rents, and other service charges issued by the New York City water board from four years to six years. Specifically, the bill modifies a section of law governing the water board's ability to establish and collect charges for water and sewerage services. Under the proposed change, customers would have up to six years from the date of a bill to challenge any fees or charges related to water and sewerage systems. This extended time frame provides more flexibility for consumers who may want to dispute billing or service charges, giving them additional time to review and potentially contest these costs. The bill aims to provide greater protection and recourse for water and sewerage system users by increasing the window for challenging fees from the current four-year limit to six years. The amendment takes effect immediately upon passage.
