Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Bill SB 599 makes a notable change regarding how fees for stormwater management are calculated and collected. The fees collected from Cook County areas outside of the District will not exceed the District's annual tax rate multiplied by the total assessed value of that area, ensuring the fees are more closely aligned with the actual costs of managing stormwater. This change is important because it aims to create a fairer financial system for funding stormwater management efforts, which can help reduce flooding and pollution from runoff in urban areas. Additionally, it allows local governments to manage fee collection with reasonable compensation for their administrative efforts.
