What it does
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 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.
