The bill, Substitute House Bill No. 7247, mandates the majority leaders' roundtable group on affordable housing to form a working group tasked with evaluating and providing recommendations on sewage disposal regulations, particularly focusing on nitrogen discharge limits and their implications for housing development, public health, and the environment. The working group will consist of various stakeholders, including commissioners from the Departments of Public Health, Energy and Environmental Protection, and Housing, as well as representatives from relevant associations. A report detailing their findings and recommendations is required to be submitted by February 1, 2026.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing regulations concerning small community sewerage systems and household and small commercial subsurface sewage disposal systems. It extends the deadline for the Department of Public Health (DPH) to post a notice of intent to amend these regulations from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2026, allowing for consultation with the newly formed working group and consideration of their recommendations. This change aims to ensure a more informed regulatory process while maintaining the DPH's authority over these systems.
