Bill > H857

This bill proposes several reforms to the Toxic Use Reduction Act (TURA) in Massachusetts. The key provisions include: 1) Reducing the frequency of required toxics use reduction plans from every two years to every six years, or when a new toxic substance is first used at a facility. 2) Changing the schedule for submitting plan summaries to the department from every two years to every six years. 3) Increasing the maximum certification period for toxics use reduction planners from five years to six years, and adjusting the continuing education requirements for initial and subsequent recertifications. 4) Exempting the payment of fees under TURA for the use of toxic substances that are mandated by law, regulation, or governmental design specifications.
