AI Summary

This bill amends Section 19 of Chapter 21A to require licensed hazardous waste site cleanup professionals to provide written notification to the city or town clerk in the municipality where the site is located, by certified mail, within 7 days of the notification to the agency, federal or state, that requires posting of the known contamination at the location. The town or city clerk is then required to maintain a database of all contaminated locations by property address and make it available to the public. Failure to comply with this new requirement can result in fines and potential confinement in the house of correction.
