Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law lists types of materials that a local governmental unit that is
responsible for operating a recycling program (known as a responsible unit)
generally must require individuals and businesses to recycle. Current law also
requires the Department of Natural Resources to operate a pilot program to provide
nine responsible units with an alternate method of complying with recycling
requirements. The pilot program must include a list of types of materials from which
each participating responsible unit chooses types to require to be recycled and must
include goals for amounts of materials to be recycled as a percentage of solid waste.
The pilot program ends on December 31, 2005. This bill extends the pilot program
to December 31, 2012.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
