This fiscal note contains 10 pages. The proposed legislation allows the state or political subdivisions to hold water and sewer assessments in abeyance until improvements on rural property or more than 10 acres are connected to the system. This does not affect the DNR's authority. Implementation is the responsibility of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Funding is subject to appropriation.
The DNR assumes no additional resources would be needed to implement the provisions of this bill. Moreover, the AGO typically defends the constitutionality of statutes on behalf of the state rather than on behalf of individuals. Officials from the Office of Prosecution Services assumes costs associated with the proposed legislation can be absorbed within current resources. There would be impact on total state revenue. However, the BAP does not have information available to estimate the cost of the tax credits.
