AI Summary
This bill amends Section 13 of Chapter 21A of the Massachusetts General Laws to update the state environmental code. The key provisions include: allowing registered sanitarians or professional engineers to prepare plans for smaller sewage disposal systems, exempting certain property transfers from requiring inspections of sewage systems installed within the previous 3 years, and requiring the Department of Environmental Protection to evaluate and minimize the paperwork burden associated with the enforcement of the code. The bill also specifies enforcement mechanisms, including fines and imprisonment for violations, as well as the roles of local boards of health and the Department in enforcing the code.
