AL HB285

Removes the requirement that the State Board of Health permit, inspect, or approve plumbing within structures located outside municipal jurisdiction.

Repeals Section 22-26-5 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which previously required county boards of health to conduct certain plumbing inspections.

Amends Section 22-26-2 to remove references to "required plumbing facilities" while maintaining requirements for sewage collection, treatment, and disposal facilities conforming to State Board of Health and county board regulations.

Maintains authority of the State Board of Health to require sanitary sewer connections where available and not regulated by municipal corporations, and to approve alternative sewage disposal methods.

Takes effect immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor or upon otherwise becoming law.
