SB 657 (2014) appears to seek further changes to licensure requirements for conventional onsite sewage system installers, as well as alternative onsite sewage system installers and conventional and alternative onsite sewage system operators.  This bill has crossed over from the Senate to the House by a vote of 36-Y 4-N.  If SB 657 becomes law,  18VAC160 may need additional changes not addressed in this Proposed Text in order to be consistent with the Code.  I recommend putting any changes on-hold until the outcome of SB 657 is clear.  If it becomes law, then I recommend new Proposed Text with an additional public comment period prior to the Final stage. Thank you for your consideration.
