AN ACT relating to solid waste management.

Summary

The bill makes it mandatory for the state cabinet to obtain a written determination from the governing body of the solid‑waste management area confirming that a proposed landfill or incinerator aligns with that area's waste‑management plan before a construction or expansion permit is accepted. Applicants must also prove the project meets the area's capacity needs, the statewide waste‑reduction plan, and local zoning rules. It expands the definition of municipal solid‑waste facilities to include certain industrial‑waste landfills while exempting facilities used only by the waste generator.
