AI Summary

This bill provides for the repair, replacement, or upgrade of certain septic systems in order to reduce environmental impacts of nitrogen pollution in vulnerable communities. It allows local or regional boards of health to enter into agreements with residential owners to finance the repair, replacement, or upgrade of septic systems that fail to properly treat for nitrogen and conform to the applicable nitrogen waste standard. The bill also allows cities and towns to establish their own nitrogen waste standards for domestic septic systems, as long as they meet the minimum requirements of the state environmental code. Additionally, the bill permits local or regional boards of health to provide loan assistance to promote the voluntary upgrade or replacement of functioning domestic septic systems to meet the applicable nitrogen waste standard.
