Summary
- This act makes the pilot program for expedited sanitation in subdivision review enacted in HB 507 (2017) permanent. It also requires the department of environmental quality to issue rules that set out eligibility requirements for municipalities and county water and/or sewer districts to qualify as a certifying authority that will provide adequate storm water drainage and adequate municipal facilities.
- It also permits a person to deviate from the certificate of subdivision approval without approval by the reviewing authority if the deviation consists solely of connecting to municipal or county water and/or sewer district facilities in place of previously approved facilities.
- The act also amends the definition of land divisions exempted from sanitation subdivision review to include, new divisions subject to review under the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act, divisions or previously divided parcels recorded with sanitary restrictions, and divisions or parcels of land that are exempt from the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act review under other sections.
