Bill Summary
Relative to regulating the septic industry
AI Summary
This bill aims to regulate the septic industry in Massachusetts. It requires system inspectors to provide clear and time-stamped photographs as part of their inspection reports to ensure accuracy. The bill also prohibits inspectors from recommending specific disposal system installers, including themselves, when their report indicates a conditional pass or failure. Instead, inspectors must provide a list of approved installers prepared by the local board of health. Violations of these requirements can result in fines and license suspensions or revocation. The bill also requires the Department of Environmental Protection to notify all approved system inspectors and installers of these new requirements.
