This bill amends the Storm Water Management Act of October 4, 1978, specifically focusing on watershed storm water plans. It introduces a new provision that allows each watershed storm water plan to identify areas adjacent to or within the watershed where the municipal roadmaster has the authority to redirect or modify road projects. The intent of this amendment is to reduce storm water impacts within the watershed, thereby enhancing flood control and storm water management efforts.

The bill emphasizes the importance of local governance in managing storm water issues by empowering municipal roadmasters to make necessary adjustments to road projects. This change aims to improve the effectiveness of storm water management strategies at the local level, ensuring that infrastructure development aligns with environmental protection goals. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
