Environmental protection: sewage; municipal stormwater utilities; provide for, and authorize fee. Creates new act.

SB 441 establishes a legal framework for local governments (cities, towns, counties) in Michigan to create stormwater management utilities. It requires these entities to adopt a stormwater management plan and a fee ordinance, with fees based on property characteristics to cover costs for flood control and water quality systems. The bill mandates public hearings before plan adoption, outlines fee calculation methods using engineering standards, and includes processes for property owners to request fee reductions or appeal charges. It directly affects property owners who may pay the new fees and local governments responsible for implementing the system.
