Expand eligibility for county sewer discounted rates or charges

SB 45 would amend Ohio Revised Code section 6117.02 to expand eligibility for discounted sewer rates or charges in county sewer districts. Currently, certain property owners may not qualify for these discounts, but this bill would broaden the criteria to include more residents and businesses connected to county sewer systems. The bill does not alter existing rules for setting standard sewer rates, connection fees, or penalties for late payments. It directly affects property owners who currently do not qualify for discounts but would meet the expanded eligibility under this legislation.
