Sonoma County Land Rights Coalition

Assemblyman Ted Gaines [R]Roseville and Assemblyman Jim Nielsen [R]Gerber introduced Assembly Bill 268 to repeal AB 885, the law requiring state-wide “standards or regulations” on septic systems.

Gaines cited the “costly and unnecessary regulations” and his desire to “give local governments the responsibility to set regulations that make sense for the constituents they serve.”

Nielsen said. “The State Government must not mandate ‘one-size-fits-all’ regulations that disproportinally affect rural counties. The regulations created by AB 885 will needlessly hurt homeowners and should be stopped in their tracks.”

Now is the time to write our local legislators and encourage them to join this effort to protect rural Californians from the draconian regulations proposed by the SWRCB.

If we’re going to defeat AB 885 [septic regulations] we’ll need every septic system owner to make their views known to their legislators. Please share this information with your families, friends and neighbors and encourage them to make their views known, too.

Ted Gaines/Jim Nielsen bill is AB 268.
