Bill > S0324

This bill revises the minimum requirements for impact fees, which are fees charged by local governments to fund infrastructure necessitated by new growth. The bill requires impact fees to be based on the most recent and localized data, provides for accounting and reporting of impact fee collections and expenditures, limits administrative charges, requires 90-day notice before new or increased impact fees, prohibits requiring collection of impact fees before the issuance of a building permit, and establishes requirements for the rational nexus between impact fees and the need for and expenditure of funds on capital facilities. The bill also exempts water and sewer connection fees from these requirements.
