ASSUMPTION
In response to similar legislation Officials of the Department of Natural Resources assume this proposal would have no fiscal impact on their department.
Oversight assumes this proposal is enabling legislation and would have no fiscal impact unless the governing body of a city, town, or village or county on behalf of the unincorporated area, would receive approval of a majority of the voters, to levy a fee that could not exceed $50 annually on owners of certain residential types of property.. The money generated by the fee could only be used for the repair of sewer lines of those dwelling units This proposal requires approval of the affected voters in the county or city, therefore, Oversight will show fiscal impact as $0.
| FISCAL IMPACT - State Government | FY 2004 | FY 2005 | FY 2006 |

| FISCAL IMPACT - Local Government | FY 2004 | FY 2005 | FY 2006 |

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.
DESCRIPTION
This act provides that a municipality may impose a fee of up to $50 per year for the repair of lateral sewer lines on residential property having six or less dwelling units. Condominiums that have six or less condominium units per building are subject to the $50 fee, each unit shall be responsible for its proportionate share of any fee charged. If a condominium unit is served by its own lateral sewer line, it shall be treated as an individual residence. If an existing sewer lateral program was in effect prior to the effective date of this act, condominium and apartment units not previously enrolled may be ineligible for enrollment if it is determined that the sewer lateral serving the unit is defective.
The act sets fort a guideline for the drafting of the proposition to be put before the voters.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
