Bill > H382

This bill creates an exemption from certain state plumbing regulations for specific public high school stadiums that meet three precise criteria: the stadium must have been built before 2006, funded jointly by the Massachusetts School Building Authority and a municipality, and located within 200 yards of a municipal high school building. Under this proposed legislation, such stadiums would be exempt from the Uniform State Plumbing Code's requirements for toilet facilities, which would normally be mandated by section 13 of the existing regulations. The bill also allows the local building official to issue a certificate of occupancy despite the standard state building regulations (specifically 780 CMR 111), providing additional flexibility for these particular school stadium facilities. By creating this narrow exemption, the bill appears to address a specific local situation where a stadium might not meet standard plumbing infrastructure requirements but still serves an important community purpose.
