A 8807
Provides reimbursement for enhanced septic system upgrades; text moved to Senate S8241A, affecting property owners, agencies, and contractors, boosting wastewater outcomes.
Background and current status
- Bill: A 8807, titled "Provides reimbursement for enhanced septic system projects."
- Introduced: June 9, 2025.
- Current status: Substituted by S8241A (the companion Senate bill carries the substantive text; A 8807 remains the introduced assembly bill but is not the active version).
- Legislative path: Referred to Environmental Conservation on 2025-06-09; then moved to Ways and Means on 2025-06-10; subsequently reported and moved through Rules; ultimately substituted by S8241A on 2025-06-12 to 2025-06-13.
Key purpose and intent
- The bill was framed to provide reimbursement for enhanced septic system projects. Given the substitution, the substantive text and specifics are now carried in Senate Bill S8241A (the companion bill).
Key provisions and changes (as introduced and via substitution)
- As introduced, A 8807 would have established a framework for reimbursements related to enhanced septic system projects.
- The legislative substitution indicates that the substantive provisions are now contained in S8241A. Readers should consult S8241A for the final, enacted text, including eligibility criteria, reimbursement amounts, funding sources, administration, and oversight.
- No dollar amounts, eligibility thresholds, timelines, or administrative mechanisms are provided in the available docket excerpt for A 8807; those details are expected to appear in S8241A.
