HB 569 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Wastewater disposal systems; reduce time by which SDH must determine feasibility or suitability of establishing in subdivisions.

HB 569 shortens the State Department of Health's (SDH) deadline to determine feasibility for centralized wastewater systems in subdivisions from an unspecified longer period to 20 days after receiving a developer's request. It also reduces the deadline for determining suitability of individual on-site wastewater systems to 20 days. If SDH misses these deadlines, all sites in the subdivision are automatically approved (subject to installer certification or environmentalist confirmation). The bill directly affects developers seeking wastewater system approvals for new subdivisions in Mississippi.
