Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill HB 248 now explicitly states that any use of treated wastewater by public or private entities must follow the orders of the Pollution Control Board. It also clarifies that no individual residences will be required to receive services from sanitary districts, and all construction efforts must focus on broader infrastructure rather than individual service lines. These changes are significant because they ensure that wastewater is managed responsibly while also protecting residents from being forced into unwanted service agreements.
