SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Onsite sewage systems and private wells; evaluation and design. Directs the State Health Commissioner to develop a plan for the orderly reduction and elimination of evaluation and design services by the Department of Health for onsite sewage systems and private wells, which shall provide for the protection of the public health as the Department transitions to accepting only applications that are supported by private site evaluations and designs from a licensed professional engineer or licensed onsite soil evaluator or, for any work subject to regulations governing private wells in the Commonwealth, by a licensed water well system provider. The Commissioner shall report to the Governor and the General Assembly by November 15, 2016.
