This bill amends existing legislation regarding drinking water rules, specifically focusing on transient non-community water systems. It requires the Department of Environmental Services to include an option for sampling these systems under certain circumstances. The amendment to RSA 485:3, I(c) introduces new provisions that allow the department to waive lateness penalties for these systems, enabling them to remain on a quarterly sampling schedule even if samples are submitted late. This is in line with the criteria and procedures established in federal regulations.

The bill emphasizes that the rules governing these water systems must adhere to the most recent national Primary Drinking Water Regulations set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The effective date of the act is set for 60 days after its passage, ensuring that the new provisions can be implemented promptly to enhance compliance and monitoring of drinking water quality in transient non-community systems.
