Summary

HB 1563 changes the composition of municipal utility commissions so that two of the commissioners must be residential customers who receive service outside the municipality’s limits. It also obligates every member of a community public water system board to complete eight hours of management training within two years, with removal possible for non‑compliance. The measures aim to give non‑resident customers a voice and improve oversight of water systems.
