Bill Summary
As enacted, generally authorizes the board of directors of a municipal energy authority to, as part of the transfer of a water and wastewater system, adopt and assume all or any portion of such regulatory powers, authority, duties, obligations, and oversight over the water and wastewater operations as were applicable to the municipal water and wastewater system pursuant to ordinances, resolutions, or other rules or policies that were in effect immediately prior to the transfer of such system to the authority; authorizes later amendment to such rules, regulations, and requirements. - Amends TCA Title 5; Title 6; Title 7 and Title 68.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to expand the powers of municipal energy authorities regarding water and wastewater systems. Specifically, it allows the board of directors of such an authority to adopt and assume regulatory powers, duties, and oversight previously held by the municipal water and wastewater system at the time of transfer. The board can adopt these powers either during the system transfer or at any subsequent time, and they can later amend these rules and regulations, provided that such amendments are fair and reasonable. The bill does not conflict with existing local government ordinances or rules, and instead provides municipal energy authorities more flexibility in managing water and wastewater operations. The legislation takes effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare.
