HB 777 (Brackett) removes statutory authorization for municipalities to impose any surcharge for serving customers outside their municipal boundaries. It specifies that rates, fees and charges for extraterritorial customers must be just and equitable and be based on the same factors used to fix rates, fees and charges for customers inside the municipality’s boundaries. The bill also requires municipal utilities to conduct a rate study by January 1, 2027, and every seven years thereafter. (O’Hara)
