AB 288

Under current law, a maintenance program for private sewage systems

(systems) is administered jointly by the Department of Safety and Professional

Services (DSPS) 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 local governmental unit adopts the program and may be applied by DSPS to

systems in the governmental unit constructed before that date.

Under current law, a governmental unit must complete an inventory of all

systems in its jurisdiction before October 1, 2013, and must implement the

maintenance program before October 1, 2015. This bill delays the deadline for the

inventory to October 1, 2019, and the deadline for the program implementation to

October 1, 2021.
