An Act relative to regulating the septic industry

This bill requires septic system inspectors to submit clear, time-stamped photos during inspections to verify on-site conditions, including specific components like tank baffles and soil absorption areas. Inspectors must also provide property owners with a list of at least five approved installers (without favoring their own name) when reporting a conditional pass or failure, and cannot recommend specific installers for repairs. Violations carry fines starting at $1,000 for a first offense, increasing to license suspension for repeat violations, and revocation for a third offense. The law directly affects licensed septic inspectors and property owners in Massachusetts.
