Bill summary

House committee substitute makes the following changes to 1st edition.
Removes amendment made to GS 162A-67(a), which specified the number of members on the Sewerage District Board from the largest and smallest portions of the district when a district expands to contain two counties, and instead makes similar modifications to GS 162A-68(i) to detail the district board membership. Enacts new subdivision (2) to GS 162A-68(i) to require local governments added to an existing district to appoint members according to GS 162A-67(a)(4) only if the local government owns or operates a public wastewater collection system at the time of appointment. Rewrites GS 162A-67(a)(4), which was previously amended, to make conforming changes. Adds a section, enacting new GS 162A-67.5 to set out the methods for determining population and district board representation. Clarifies, in proposed subdivision (13c) to GS 162A-69, that a Metropolitan Sewerage District has authority to exercise any power of a Metropolitan Water District not listed in GS 162A-69. Specifies that the act applies to appointments made on or after July 1, 2012. Makes conforming changes to the bill title.
