• Removes revisions to Mississippi's on-site wastewater disposal system law that took effect July 1, 2009, rolling back regulatory requirements for individual septic systems.

• Restores the two-acre exemption for individual on-site wastewater disposal systems, exempting properties of two acres or larger from department approval requirements.

• Reduces the department's response time for system approval requests from 30 days to 15 working days, with approval deemed granted if the department fails to respond within that timeframe.

• Repeals sections establishing review procedures for system approval denials, certification programs for maintenance providers and evaluators, and licensing requirements for septic tank sludge removal operators.
