COUNTY AUDITOR

This act requires the auditor of any county with a charter form of government to annually take an inventory of county property with an original value of $1,000 or more. Current law requires an inventory of county property with an original value of $250 or more.

This provision is identical to SB 628 (2010) and similar to HB 939 (2009), a provision of SS/SCS/HB 376 (2009), HCS/SB 386 (2009), and SB 354 (2009).

PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS' RETIREMENT FUND

This act requires a surcharge of $4 be assessed against any person who pled guilty and paid a fine through a fine collection center. The surcharge is payable to the prosecuting attorneys and circuit attorneys' retirement fund.

WATER LINE REPAIR PROGRAM

This act authorizes cities, towns, and villages located in any county of the state to seek voter approval for the imposition of a fee on residential property to fund the repair or replacement of water lines on that property. The fee would be imposed for the repair or replacement of water service lines providing water service to residential properties having four or fewer dwelling units located within the city, town, or village. The fee cannot exceed one dollar per month.

Any city, town, or village which imposes the water service line fee may, by ordinance, provide for the administration of the program and define the terms "repair" and "water service line".

This provision is identical to SCS/SB 174 (2011).

TRANSFER OF GUARDIANSHIP AND CONSERVATORSHIP CASES

A public administrator may request the court to transfer any guardianship or conservatorship case to another county. If the other county meets the venue requirements and the public administrator of the other county consents to the transfer, the court is required to transfer the case. The court with jurisdiction over the other county is required to appoint the public administrator of that county as the person's new guardian or conservator.

The public administrator is required to file a final settlement of their conservatorship within thirty days of the court transferring the case. This final settlement will be filed in the court with jurisdiction over the original conservatorship and forwarded to the receiving county upon approval.

This provision is identical to HB 88 (2011) and SB 57 (2011).

SEWER LINE REPAIR PROGRAM

This act authorizes cities, towns, villages, and sewer and water supply districts to seek voter approval for the imposition of a fee on residential property to fund the repair or replacement of lateral sewer service lines on that property. The fee would be imposed for the repair or replacement of lateral sewer service lines providing service to residential properties having four or fewer dwelling units located within the city, town, village, or sewer or water supply district. The fee cannot exceed $4 per month.

Any city, town, or village which imposes the line fee may, by ordinance, provide for the administration of the program and define the terms "repair" and "lateral sewer service line".
