Hawaii SB2243 amends deadlines for cesspool upgrades, prioritizing high-risk areas and extending timelines for lower-priority cesspools.

Hawaii SB2243 modifies the schedule for upgrading, converting, or connecting cesspools to comply with state regulations. It prioritizes high-risk cesspools, requiring priority 1 cesspools to comply by December 31, 2050, while extending deadlines for lower-priority cesspools. The bill also mandates annual reports from the department to the legislature on progress and challenges. This phased approach aims to address the most hazardous cesspools first while allowing adequate time for planning and funding for lower-priority cesspools.
