AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to allow local boards of health to adopt on-site sewage disposal system regulations that are more stringent than the state's Title 5 regulations, but only if the Department of Environmental Protection reviews and approves the proposed local regulations based on certain criteria, such as having a scientific basis, being a recommended best practice, and protecting unique local resources without conflicting with the state regulations.
