Madison County; certain privately owned sewer systems subjected to Public Service Commission regulation; constitutional amendment

HB 337 proposes a constitutional amendment for Madison County, Alabama, to bring specific privately owned sewer systems under regulation by the Public Service Commission (PSC). It applies only to private sewer operators that: (1) use public roads for their systems, (2) discharge to certain wastewater facilities, and (3) charge flat or usage-based fees. These systems would then be regulated by the PSC for rates and service standards, though counties or municipalities with existing agreements with the sewer providers can opt out of PSC oversight for those customers. The amendment requires voter approval and includes a five-year restriction if a local government later seeks to revert to PSC regulation after opting out.
