This bill amends section 180.191 of the Florida Statutes to establish new requirements for municipalities that operate water and sewer utilities. It mandates that municipalities charge customers in another municipality the same rates, fees, and charges as those charged to consumers within their own municipal boundaries, provided that the recipient municipality has a facility operated by the service provider. This new provision is outlined in a newly added subsection (2), which also defines key terms such as "facility," "wastewater treatment facility," and "water treatment facility."

Additionally, the bill makes several technical changes to the existing language, including the re-designation of subsections and modifications to the conditions under which municipalities can charge different rates to consumers outside their boundaries. Notably, it removes the requirement for a public hearing when fixing rates, fees, and charges for consumers outside the municipality, except in specific circumstances. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
