Bill > H2522

This bill establishes a new Division of Indoor Environments within the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's Center for Environmental Health. Specifically, the bill amends Chapter 111 of the General Laws by adding a new Section 225, which mandates the creation of this division. The Commissioner of Public Health will be responsible for appointing a Director to lead the division. The primary purpose of this new division is to administer and enforce existing laws and regulations related to indoor air quality. This means the division will have the authority to oversee and implement rules that ensure the safety and health of indoor environments, which could include monitoring air quality in places like workplaces, schools, homes, and other enclosed spaces. By creating a dedicated division, the state aims to improve oversight and management of indoor environmental health standards.
