House Bill No. introduced by S. Fitzpatrick aims to revise the laws governing the connection of proposed subdivisions to county or municipal water and sewer systems. The bill mandates that a county or municipal water or sewer system must accept a proposed subdivision's request for connection if certain conditions are met. Specifically, the proposed subdivision must request the connection, be located within 501 to 1,000 feet of any component of the public system, and the public system must comply with established requirements. The bill also directs the Department of Environmental Quality to amend existing administrative rules to reflect these new requirements.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of both county and municipal systems in providing water and sewer services to proposed subdivisions. It stipulates that these systems must be approved and compliant with relevant regulations, and they must certify that they have adequate capacity and authorized connections for the proposed subdivision. The bill includes provisions for codification into existing law and establishes an immediate effective date upon passage and approval.
