Summary

This bill would modify site cleanup guidelines for properties where illicit drugs have been used or manufactured. The bill would expand the Board of Health's cleanup guidelines to address contamination from various illicit drugs, not just methamphetamine labs. Properties contaminated by illicit drug activity require professional cleanup to remove chemical residues and hazardous materials. The updated guidelines would establish standards for decontaminating residential and commercial properties after illicit drug activity.
