An Act relative to the board of registration of hazardous waste site cleanup professionals

This bill creates a new Board of Registration for hazardous waste site cleanup professionals within the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. The board will consist of 11 members, including the state's environmental commissioner and 10 individuals appointed by the governor from diverse backgrounds such as licensed engineers, bankers, homebuilders, and environmental advocates. These members, who serve without pay for four-year terms, will oversee the registration and regulation of professionals involved in cleaning up contaminated sites. Additionally, the legislation requires the current board members to be removed and replaced with new appointees who meet the specific qualifications outlined in the act.
