Waste Facilities

Summary

The bill would prevent local governments and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection from issuing construction permits for new solid‑waste incinerators or waste‑to‑energy facilities located within two miles of a federally authorized impoundment of at least 100 acres. It also creates recycling‑credit incentives tied to energy production and adds reporting and penalty rules for counties that miss recycling targets. The measure failed and died in the Community Affairs Committee.
