H 382 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act exempting public school stadiums from certain state regulations

This bill exempts certain public high school stadiums from specific plumbing code requirements. It applies only to stadiums built before 2006, funded jointly by the Massachusetts School Building Authority and a municipality, and located within 200 yards of the main school building. The exemption removes the need for compliance with toilet facility standards under the Uniform State Plumbing Code (248 CMR 10.10:18) for these qualifying stadiums. Local building officials can issue occupancy certificates without requiring these plumbing upgrades. The bill directly affects eligible public high schools seeking to avoid costly retrofits to older stadium facilities.
