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.
