Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Private Sewage Disposal Licensing Act. Provides for the licensure of businesses (rather than persons) engaged in the pumping, hauling, and disposal of wastes removed from the sewage disposal systems of portable toilets and portable, potable handwashing units (now, just portable toilets) and the cleaning, sanitizing, and maintenance of portable toilets and portable, potable handwashing units. Requires the Department of Public Health to establish and issue a certificate of registration as a portable sanitation technician for any employee of a business licensed to maintain portable toilets and portable, potable handwashing units who engages in the servicing of portable toilets. Sets forth requirements for obtaining a certificate of registration. Removes a provision concerning designated persons. Makes related changes. Effective immediately.

House Amendment No. 1
Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the bill as introduced with the following changes. Provides for the licensure or registration of businesses and employees engaged in the pumping, hauling, and disposal of wastes removed from the sewage disposal systems of holding tanks and the cleaning, sanitizing, and maintenance of holding tanks. Requires the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to establish and issue a certificate of registration as a portable sanitation technician for any employee of a business licensed under the Act to maintain portable toilets, holding tanks, and potable handwashing units who engages in the servicing and the cleaning, sanitizing, and maintenance of portable toilets, holding tanks, and portable, potable handwashing units (instead of just for an employee who engages in the servicing of portable toilets). Provides that beginning 6 months after the adoption of Department rules implementing the provisions of the amendatory Act (instead of 6 months after the effective date of the amendatory Act), no person may engage in the servicing of portable toilets in a manner that does not comply with the requirements of the Act and certain rules established under the Act and no person or business may engage in the pumping, hauling, and disposal of wastes removed from the sewage disposal systems of portable toilets, holding tanks, and portable, potable handwashing units (instead of just portable, potable handwashing units) and the cleaning, sanitizing, and maintenance of portable toilets, holding tanks, and portable, potable handwashing units without being licensed or certified under the Act. Removes a provision requiring an applicant for a certificate of registration as a portable sanitation technician to attend a minimum safety training session. Removes a provision that prohibits a person from engaging in the pumping, hauling, or disposal of wastes removed from the sewage disposal systems of portable toilets in a manner that does not comply with the requirements of the Act and certain rules adopted under the Act. Effective immediately.
