Plain-language change summary

The bill has been amended to change the structure and numbering of storm water management provisions. Instead of being added under an existing chapter, these provisions will now be organized into a new chapter specifically for incorporated towns. This change matters because it aims to streamline the regulation of storm water management, making it clearer and more accessible for town councils to plan, construct, and maintain necessary infrastructure to handle surface water runoff effectively.
