    Key Takeaways

    • Extends the deadline for municipal wastewater agencies to file stormwater agreements from 30 to 40 days.
    • Maintains existing authority for wastewater agencies to manage stormwater and collect related fees.
    • Requires filing agreements with local agency formation commissions in all counties where the agency operates.

    Summary

    Senator Rubio's proposal to modify California's municipal wastewater regulations would extend the timeline for agencies to file stormwater management agreements with local formation commissions. The measure adjusts the current 30-day requirement to 40 days for submitting new agreements or amendments.

    The filing requirement applies when municipal wastewater agencies enter agreements with entities managing stormwater and dry weather runoff, including industrial and commercial dischargers. These agreements allow agencies to authorize stormwater discharge into wastewater systems, enforce water quality standards, and fund related projects through existing revenue mechanisms. The local agency formation commission in each county where the wastewater agency operates must receive copies of these documents, though commission approval is not required except as specified under the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act.
