ASSUMPTION
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.

DESCRIPTION
This substitute increases from $28 to $50 the voter-approved fee that may be charged for the repair of lateral sewer service lines on residential property having six or less dwelling units in St. Charles County, St. Louis County, and St. Louis City. If the fee is increased, repairs may be made to the entire line. Only condominiums that have six or less units per building are subject to the fee. Each unit is responsible for its proportionate share of any fee charged. If a condominium is served by its own lateral sewer line, it will be treated as an individual residence. If an existing lateral sewer program was in effect prior to the effective date of the substitute, condominiums and apartment units not previously enrolled may be ineligible for enrollment if it is determined that the program serving the unit was defective.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
