This bill proposes an amendment to the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, 37-6-30a, which mandates that all rental properties in the state must be equipped with approved sewage systems, explicitly prohibiting the use of straight piping for sewage disposal. The legislation aims to ensure that rental properties meet health and safety standards regarding sewage management.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any property that was previously used as a primary dwelling by the owner and is now being rented out must have its plumbing updated to current standards and must also have an approved sewer system installed. This requirement is intended to enhance the living conditions for tenants and ensure compliance with modern plumbing regulations.
