AI Summary
This bill aims to expedite the process for developers seeking approval for wastewater disposal systems in subdivisions by reducing the time the Mississippi State Department of Health (SDH) has to make determinations. Specifically, the bill shortens the timeframe from thirty (30) days to twenty (20) days for the SDH to determine the feasibility of establishing centralized wastewater treatment systems, which are systems designed to collect and treat wastewater from multiple properties, and also for the SDH to determine the suitability of individual on-site wastewater disposal systems, which are systems designed to treat wastewater at the property where it is generated. The bill also brings forward existing sections of law related to wastewater disposal system approvals for potential future amendments.
