This bill authorizes the city of North Oaks to connect to the Metropolitan Council's sanitary sewer system and to be included within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). It stipulates that upon application by North Oaks for a comprehensive plan amendment or as part of its 2050 comprehensive plan, the Metropolitan Council must allow the city to be located within the MUSA and permit connections to the sewer system. The bill ensures that wastewater rates, fees, or costs for infrastructure capacity for North Oaks will not differ significantly from those of other similar MUSA communities. Additionally, it clarifies that North Oaks remains subject to the permitting process required by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.

The bill also includes a provision stating that it will take effect the day after final enactment without the need for local approval, as outlined in Minnesota Statutes. This legislative action aims to facilitate the integration of North Oaks into the regional sewer system while maintaining equitable cost structures and compliance with environmental regulations.
