MO HB1963

Prohibits assessment of stormwater management fees, charges, or taxes on residential property owners within sewer districts that do not directly provide sanitary sewer services to the property and whose stormwater does not flow to a district-maintained sewer.

Defines stormwater runoff as flowing to a district sewer only if a storm water pipe or improved waterway exists within 50 feet of the property line in the direction of drainage flow.

Considers stormwater runoff as conveyed to a district sewer if drainage from the property reaches a pipe or improved waterway through an improved surface such as a street, sidewalk, curb and gutter, or concrete swale.

Applies to districts created under section 30 of article VI of the Missouri Constitution.
