District boards of health may be designated by the Division of Environmental Protection Administrator to act as solid waste management authorities if they apply, demonstrate capability, and adopt necessary regulations; currently operating boards are grandfathered in.

The State Environmental Commission must adopt regulations establishing criteria for district boards of health to demonstrate capability for solid waste management and public water system administration.

District boards of health may be designated to issue permits and administer public water system provisions under NRS 445A.800-445A.955; the Division will periodically review designated boards and may revoke designation for deficiencies with at least 60 days to correct non-imminent hazards.

The definition of "public swimming pool" is revised to exclude privately owned pools used by members of organizations recognized as tax-exempt social clubs under IRC Section 501(c)(7), rather than simply "private clubs."
