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 delineate areas within or adjacent to the watershed where the municipal roadmaster has the authority to redirect or amend road projects. The purpose of this amendment is to enhance efforts in lessening storm water impacts within the watershed.

The bill aims to provide municipalities with greater flexibility in managing road projects to mitigate storm water issues, thereby improving flood control and storm water management efforts. The new legal language emphasizes the role of local authorities in adapting infrastructure projects to better serve environmental needs. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
