What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a maintenance program for private sewage systems (systems) is administered jointly by the Department of Commerce (Commerce) and governmental units (counties in which the systems are located or, for counties with a population of at least 500,000, cities, villages, or towns in which the systems are located). This maintenance program applies to all new or replacement systems constructed in the governmental unit after the date on which the governmental unit adopts the program and may be applied by Commerce to systems in the governmental unit constructed before that date.
Under rules promulgated by Commerce for the maintenance program, a governmental unit must conduct and maintain an inventory of all systems in its jurisdiction and must complete the inventory before October 1, 2011, and must implement the maintenance program before October 1, 2013. This bill incorporates the inventory requirement into the statutes and delays the deadline for the inventory to October 1, 2013, and the deadline for the program implementation to October 1, 2015.
