Bill > HB1563

This bill modifies the composition of municipal utility commissions and mandates management training for community public water system boards. Specifically, it requires that two members of a municipal utility commission must be customers who receive utility service outside the municipality's boundaries, and it expands the total number of commissioners from five to seven. Additionally, all members of a governing board for any community public water system are now required to attend management training, with no exceptions for larger municipalities, and the bill also brings forward existing definitions related to community public water systems for potential future amendments.
