The bill amends section 6117.02 of the Revised Code to expand eligibility for discounted rates or charges for county sewer services. The new provisions allow for discounted rates to be available not only to individuals aged sixty-five and older but also to low- and moderate-income persons and those experiencing temporary hardship. The previous requirement that individuals must be eligible for the homestead exemption to qualify for these discounts has been removed.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the board of county commissioners establish eligibility requirements for these discounted rates, ensuring that a broader range of individuals can benefit from financial relief regarding sewer charges. The existing section 6117.02 is repealed, indicating a comprehensive update to the law governing sewer service charges and eligibility for discounts.
