This bill modifies the powers of receivers in financially distressed municipalities regarding the sale or disposition of assets related to water and wastewater systems.

  • Section 706(a)(5)

    If the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment or other use or disposition under this paragraph relates to a water or wastewater system, the receiver shall contact the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission shall complete an analysis and submit the analysis to the receiver and municipality within 90 days after the contact. If the analysis determines that the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment or other use or disposition would result in a 25% increase in the monthly average residential ratepayers bill, the receiver may not proceed with the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment or other use or disposition. → To require the distressed municipality or authority to cause the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment or other use or disposition of the distressed municipality's or authority's assets in accordance with section 707.

    This change simplifies the regulatory requirements for asset disposition by removing the need for an analysis from the Public Utility Commission under certain conditions.
