For legislation relative to protecting, preserving, and increasing access to family camping. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.

AI Summary

This bill aims to increase access to family camping in Massachusetts by directing the Division of State Parks and Recreation to revise existing rules and regulations within six months of the bill's passage. The revisions would encourage and facilitate the growth of Massachusetts campgrounds while also protecting public health, safety, and the environment. The bill specifically requires the division to review regulations related to septic flow, volume discharge, greywater, land size, and approved chemical additives to ensure they do not unnecessarily hinder campground expansion and user access. The division is also required to consult with interest groups, including the Massachusetts Association of Campground Owners and the Massachusetts Camping Association, during the revision process.
