       The Committee on Regulated Industries (Detert) recommended the
       following:
       
    1         Senate Amendment 
    2  
    3         Delete lines 191 - 203
    4  and insert:
    5         (aa) An existing-system inspection or evaluation and
    6  assessment, or a modification, replacement, or upgrade of an
    7  onsite sewage treatment and disposal system is not required for
    8  a remodeling addition or modification to a single-family home if
    9  a bedroom is not added. However, a remodeling addition or
   10  modification to a single-family home may not cover any part of
   11  the existing system or encroach upon a required setback or the
   12  unobstructed area. To determine if a setback or the unobstructed
   13  area is impacted, the local health department shall review and
   14  verify a floor plan and site plan of the proposed remodeling
   15  addition or modification to the home submitted by a remodeler
   16  which shows the location of the system, including the distance
   17  of the remodeling addition or modification to the home from the
   18  onsite sewage treatment and disposal system. The local health
   19  department may visit the site or otherwise determine the best
   20  means of verifying the information submitted. A verification of
   21  the location of a system is not an inspection or evaluation and
   22  assessment of the system. The review and verification must be
   23  completed within 7 business days after receipt by the local
   24  health department of a floor plan and site plan. If the review
   25  and verification is not completed within such time, the
   26  remodeling addition or modification to the single-family home,
   27  for the purposes of this paragraph, is approved.
