An Act relative to right of entry to prevent environmental violations

HD 2302 allows environmental agency inspectors to enter both public and private property without a warrant to investigate potential environmental violations, protect public health/safety, or prevent environmental damage. Property owners can request a warrant for such inspections, triggering a court process to issue one. The bill directly affects property owners (including businesses and residents) and environmental inspectors by changing entry rules for enforcement. It establishes that warrantless entry is permitted during investigations, but owners retain the right to demand a judicial warrant upon request.
