MO HB1143

Allows cities, towns, villages, sewer districts, and water supply districts to levy a fee of up to $4 per month ($48 annually) on residential properties with four or fewer dwelling units for lateral sewer line repairs, subject to voter approval.

Requires a specific ballot form describing the fee purpose and amount, which must be approved by a majority of voters before implementation.

Establishes that collected fees must be deposited in a special account dedicated solely to administering and paying for lateral sewer line repairs and replacements, with up to 5% of annual funds allowed for administrative costs.

Permits the fee to be added to property tax bills and collected using the same methods as delinquent real estate taxes, with revenues kept separate from other collected funds.

Caps markups in charter counties with 300,000-450,000 inhabitants at 33.33% of the premium or fee paid to another entity for sewage processing or treatment.
