Bill Summary
Repeals the mandated upgrade, conversion, or sewer connection of all the cesspools in the State before 2050.
AI Summary
This bill repeals a previous law that mandated all cesspools in Hawaii, which are individual wastewater systems designed to retain solids and organic matter while allowing liquid to seep into the ground, be upgraded, converted to an approved system, or connected to a sewer system by January 1, 2050. The repealed law also allowed for exemptions from this mandate by the director of health under certain circumstances, such as small lot sizes, steep topography, poor soils, or accessibility issues, if it was infeasible to comply.
