The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 115.55, to modify the disclosure requirements for subsurface sewage treatment systems. It introduces a new definition for "certificate of compliance," which is a document issued by a licensed inspection business or certified local government inspector. Additionally, the bill establishes a new subdivision that mandates sellers or transferors of real property to provide a certificate of compliance or a written statement regarding the sewage management system before finalizing a sale. The certificate must include specific information about the system, its compliance status, and any previous inspection reports.

Furthermore, the bill repeals subdivision 6 of section 115.55, which previously outlined disclosure requirements for sellers regarding sewage management. The changes aim to streamline the compliance process and ensure that potential buyers are adequately informed about the sewage treatment systems in place. The bill also requires the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency to modify existing rules to align with these new requirements, allowing for a more efficient regulatory framework.
