The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 7247 aims to address sewage disposal requirements and their implications for housing development, public health, and the environment. It mandates the establishment of a working group by the majority leaders' roundtable on affordable housing, as outlined in section 36 of public act 23-207. This group will assess regulatory requirements related to sewage disposal, including nitrogen discharge limits, and evaluate the balance between housing development costs and public health and environmental protection. The working group will consist of key stakeholders, including commissioners from relevant departments and subject matter experts, and is required to submit a report with their findings and recommendations by February 1, 2026.

The bill introduces new legal language that establishes the working group and outlines its responsibilities, while it does not contain any deletions from current law. The act is set to take effect upon passage, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive evaluation of sewage disposal practices in relation to housing and public health concerns.
