SB 66 - This act establishes the Missouri Water Safety and Security Act. Within one year of the act's effective date every public water system in the state shall create an asset management plan with components as set forth in the act. The act requires all public water systems, except those systems without internet-connected control systems, to create a plan that establishes policies and procedures for cyber security risk management, prevention, and mitigation. If a public water system receives three notices of violation for any reason, or two notices relating to exceeding maximum contaminant levels within a 12-month period, the public water system shall submit a mitigation plan to the Department of Natural Resources within 60 days of the latest violation. The act further requires all public water systems to create valve inspection and hydrant inspection programs. The programs shall contain requirements as set forth in the act. Public water systems are required to submit an annual report to the Department certifying compliance with certain regulations as set forth in the act. Finally, no provisions of the act shall be construed to establish a private civil cause of action against an individual in violation of any of the provisions of the act. This act is substantially similar to HB 1877 (2018). JAMIE ANDREWS
