The State Board of Environmental Sanitarian
Registration was created in 1969 as the Board of
Sanitarian Registration (Chapter 434, Acts of
1969). It adopted its present name in 1984 (Chap-
ter 560, Acts of 1984). Formerly under the De-
partment of Health and Mental Hygiene, the
Board became part of the Department of the En-
vironment in 1987 (Senate Bill no. 671).
Registered environmental sanitarians perform
inspections and investigational services to promote
and maintain environmental health and secure
compliance with public health laws and regula-
tions. Their work concerns public health aspects
of the environment from the manufacture, prepa-
ration, handling, distribution, or sale of food and
milk; water supply and treatment; wastewater
treatment and disposal; solid waste management
and disposal; vector control; insect and rodent
control; air quality; noise control; product safety;
recreational sanitation; and institutional and resi-
dential sanitation. The Board issues licenses to ap-
plicants who qualify as registered environmental
sanitarians. The Board also issues certificates of
eligibility to applicants awaiting examination.
