AB316,1,2
1An Act relating to: financial assistance for local recycling programs and making
2an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law requires a municipality to operate a recycling program to manage
solid waste in compliance with certain criteria, except that a county may assume this
responsibility in place of municipalities within the county. The Department of
Natural Resources administers a program that provides financial assistance to local
governments that operate recycling programs that satisfy the criteria specified in
current law.
This bill increases the funding for local recycling programs by $13,000,000 in
each fiscal year of the current fiscal biennium.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
