Expands the definition of sewage to include stormwater for certain water, sewer, and water and sewer authorities.

This bill amends the public authorities law to redefine "sewage" to include stormwater, which is defined as water from rain or meltwater that is not absorbed by the soil or other surface. This change applies to various water, sewer, and water and sewer authorities, affecting how these entities manage and treat stormwater. The bill also ensures that existing duties and functions related to stormwater management by municipal employees are not transferred, reassigned, or contracted out.
