Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 32.1-163.6 as follows:

§ 32.1-163.6. Local septic system databases.

In addition to the authority provided in § 32.1-164, the Board shall, with such funds as are appropriated for this purpose, develop and establish a uniform electronic system for the storage, retrieval, application, and approval of local septic system and other onsite sewage system applications and permits, hereinafter referred to as "the local septic system database." The local septic system database shall be phased-in across the Commonwealth as funding becomes available, beginning with those jurisdictions with large volumes of applications due to growth and development. In order to provide for immediate implementation and planning for the statewide implementation of the database, the Board shall, by January 1, 2002, implement a pilot project for two rural counties in which a large recreational lake is located as such pilot project is established in the appropriation act.
