The bill introduced on March 6, 2025, aims to amend the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, 37-6-30a, which establishes requirements for sewage systems in rental properties. Specifically, it mandates that all rental properties must be equipped with approved sewer systems, prohibiting the use of straight piping for sewage disposal.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any property that was previously a primary dwelling for the owner but is now being used as a rental must have its plumbing updated to meet current standards and must also have an approved sewer system installed. The overall purpose of this legislation is to ensure that all rental properties comply with proper sewage management practices to protect public health and the environment.
