septic rules repealed

The governor signed the budget bill without striking the provision to repeal the septic system rules that went into effect Jan. 1. The repeal will last two years while they are reformulated, and in the meantime we will revert to the way things were done in the past. I haven't been entirely in favor of this repeal even though I'm a Realtor and the OAR was backing it. I haven't heard of any local horror stories under the new rules, but I guess some counties took a stricter approach. This divergence from county to county was one of the things the new rules were supposed to alleviate, so if they hadn't solved that problem I suppose it is best to start over.
