Session Year 2025
Overview: Section 25 of S.L. 2025‑94 (House Bill 926) authorizes the Department of Environmental Quality to reduce the frequency of oversight visits for certain public water system supplemental treatment facilities to not less than once per calendar month, if the supplemental treatment facility complies with all existing requirements for public water system treatment facilities and meets additional requirements related to chemical feed, emergency shutdowns, and remote monitoring. This section also directs the Commission for Public Health to amend its existing rules to be consistent with this authorization. In addition, the section exempts these rules from certain requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, including those requiring ratification by the General Assembly, or supermajority approval by a board or commission, that are applicable when a rule's aggregate financial cost exceeds certain thresholds.
This section became effective October 6, 2025.
