The lawmakers are pushing to include this legislation in the next infrastructure package. Last Congress, Suozzi introduced similar legislation on this issue. “Much-needed improvements of Long Island’s septic tanks should not be paid for by hardworking middle-class families of Long Island.

Together, we will ensure Long Islanders are not forced to pay taxes on basic environmental clean-up.”
