The bill is proposed as a consumer protection measure. The committee heard testimony that 50% of NH homes are on individual septic systems, the second highest in the country. Yet, there are currently no state standards or guidelines for those engaged in the practice of septic system evaluation. This shortcoming in the practice can potentially lead to a cost exceeding $10,000 for the unnecessary replacement of a septic field. The licensure and regulation proposed by this bill will help to ensure a more uniform set of standards by which septic evaluators provide their service. The legislation itself was proposed by the septic system trades. The amendment to the bill made several technical corrections and revised penalties to be in line with other statutes on certain criminal practices. The amendment also ensured liberal, yet functional, grandfathering provisions for those currently providing septic evaluations. This will permit practicing and qualified practitioners to continue to do their work without undue hardship."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep. J.R. Hoell", "committee": "Executive Departments and Administration", "text": "The bill seeks to create a new license for those that evaluate or inspect septic systems. These inspections are typically done when there are issues with the system or when there is a real estate transaction and the potential buyer wants to know if the septic system is in good working order. The draft of this bill was based on the home inspectors license and there were numerous issues found with that \"boiler plate\" language that was used as the basis for this potential law. After multiple sub committee hearings and several executive sessions a significant rewrite of the bill took place. The issues with the proposed licensure system are as follows: Current DES rules, Chapter Env-Wq 1000 Subdivision and Individual Sewerage Disposal System Design Rules, Env-Wq 1003.22, already require that an inspector get written confirmation from the town health inspector or building inspector when the inspector is stating the septic system is in \"failure.\" With a state license the consumer may be lulled into a false sense of security. For example, it has been reported by government studies and as well the AMA that in one of the most regulated fields, that of medicine, that between 210,000 and 440,000 injuries including death occur in the US annually and this is a completely licensed set of professions. Furthermore, the training may indicate a level of classroom and field training, but with this license, there is no indication of efficiency, reliability, or honesty, nor is there any level of guaranteed competence. The consumers will still need to count on free market solutions to know the quality of the inspector that they are hiring. Lastly, the license system creates larger but not better government. Although the joint board overseeing this new license will be self funding under this statute, there is no liability to the state if the individual licensed by the state fails to do a good job and therefore the consumer is paying for something that they are not getting. The minority recommends this bill be held for interim study to make sure the bill is ready to be turned into a statute."}], "source": "House Calendar 24, 2016", "date": "2016-04-20", "dated": "signed", "cite": "HC 24", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2016%5CNo%2024%20April%2015%202016.pdf"}, {"bill": "SB210", "title": "relative to regulation of septic system evaluators", "majority_recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "minority_recommendation": "INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE", "reports": [{"side": "Majority", "author": "Rep.

These fees would cover the associated board and staff costs using the standard approach which calls for fees being sufficient to produce estimated revenues equal to 125 percent of the direct operating expenses of the board budgeted for the biennium in which they apply. This was acceptable to the committee; however, an amendment was added with four changes. First, until initial expenses become known, the fee for an initial application or a renewal of a license shall not exceed $150 for a two year license. The second change was designed to keep the fees down by eliminating the provision that members of the board shall receive $25 for each day actually engaged in the duties of their office. Traditionally these small boards do not have paid board members. The third change clarified the language to ensure that those eligible for licensure under RSA 310-A: 210, II, III, or IV would be able to practice during the transition period.
