Summary

The bill adds a new rule to Minnesota law that agencies, local governments and inspectors must use the most recent, reliable evidence of groundwater contamination when judging subsurface sewage treatment systems. Property owners can submit test results that are less than two years old from specified methods, and officials must give a 90‑day notice of rights before issuing a non‑compliance notice. This aims to standardize how compliance is verified and give owners clearer, timely options.
