Summary

The bill forces wastewater treatment plants to monitor hormones, PFAS and bacteria, post daily and event‑specific data on a public website, and begin lab testing within 24 hours of a bypass or failure. It also creates bacterial action levels, real‑time public alerts, and bars plants that repeatedly exceed limits from participating in the state water‑quality trading program. Smaller plants must report staffing plans annually, while larger plants report semi‑annually.
