What’s in it

This bill relates to persons certified to conduct time-of-transfer inspections of private sewage disposal systems. Current law requires an inspection of a private sewage disposal system of a building in which a person resides, congregates, or is employed prior to any transfer of ownership of the building. The department of natural resources (DNR) is required to adopt certification requirements for inspectors and maintain a list of certified inspectors. The bill states that an inspector’s certification is considered current if the inspector has paid initial and renewal fees required to maintain certification, is up-to-date on continuing education units, is in good standing with DNR, and has not otherwise been decertified.
