What’s in it

This bill relates to rules related to the maintenance of septic systems. Current law requires the environmental protection commission to establish rules relating to the maintenance of disposal systems. The bill prohibits the commission from adopting rules that require an owner of a peat moss biofilter system, a recirculating textile filter system, or an aerobic treatment unit to enter into a maintenance contract. However, the bill requires an owner of a peat moss biofilter system, a recirculating textile filter system, or an aerobic treatment unit to have the system inspected and, if necessary, have maintenance performed by a technician at least once every three years.
