This bill amends Titles 8 and 11 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to enhance the authority of boroughs and cities regarding storm water management. It allows boroughs to enact ordinances for the planning, management, implementation, construction, and maintenance of storm water facilities. Additionally, it provides a framework for financing storm water management activities, including the ability to assess fees based on property characteristics and to establish methods of assessment for funding these initiatives. The bill also introduces provisions for incorporated towns, allowing them to create storm water management plans and facilities, and to assess fees similarly to boroughs and cities.

Key insertions in the bill include the establishment of a new part for incorporated towns that outlines their authority to manage storm water, as well as specific provisions for assessing fees and managing storm water systems. The bill emphasizes the need for consistency with existing storm water management regulations and guidelines, and it mandates that fees collected for storm water management can only be used for authorized purposes. The act is set to take effect in 60 days following its passage.
