SB 1399 aims to address the issue of stormwater management by proposing changes to the existing stormwater fee structure. The bill is designed to provide exemptions for certain entities or activities from these fees, thereby impacting how stormwater management is funded and regulated.

The bill is expected to affect:
- Local Governments: Responsible for implementing and collecting stormwater fees.
- Non-Profit Organizations and Educational Institutions: Potential beneficiaries of fee exemptions.
- Environmental Agencies: May need to adjust their regulatory frameworks in response to the changes proposed by the bill.
