Bill Summary
AN ACT To enact R.S. 40:1281.27, relative to sewerage systems; to provide for the installation of individual sewerage systems in certain circumstances; to provide for definitions; to provide for an effective date; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill enacts a new law in Louisiana, R.S. 40:1281.27, which allows individuals to install and use their own individual sewerage systems, meaning systems designed to collect, transport, and treat sewage on their own property. This is permitted even if a community sewerage system, which serves multiple properties and can include collection, transport, and treatment facilities, is available, with the exception that individuals must connect to a community system if it is owned by a city, parish, or other municipality. The bill also defines these terms and specifies its effective date, which is upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, when the time for bills to become law without signature expires, with provisions for veto overrides.
