Creates the "Stormwater Management Utility Act" to allow a local unit of government to create a stormwater management utility by adopting a stormwater management plan and a stormwater management utility fee ordinance. The plan would have to include details about the utility's service area and the method for calculating the fee, among other things. The fee ordinance would create a fee for residents that received stormwater management services, and the fee would have to be proportionate to a resident's use based on methods generally accepted by stormwater management professionals.
