The bill mandates the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) to submit a comprehensive report to the house and senate committees on ways and means by February 3, 2025. This report will detail the department's progress in meeting the statutory and regulatory deadlines associated with the Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Act (TURA), as well as the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) positions assigned to various implementation requirements of the act. The bill outlines specific sections of the TURA, including ongoing implementation efforts, completed tasks, and the establishment of guidelines and regulations for inspections and reporting.

Additionally, the bill specifies the allocation of FTEs for various TURA-related activities, including enforcement of reporting requirements, data management, report review, and Toxics Use Reduction Planner certification. Notably, new legal language has been inserted to clarify the responsibilities and staffing needs associated with these requirements, including the management of report summaries, guidance development, and annual report preparation. The total number of FTEs dedicated to TURA implementation is set at 5.0, reflecting the ongoing commitment to effective toxics use reduction and environmental protection in Massachusetts.
