AB941,1,2 1An Act to amend 289.01 (33) of the statutes; relating to: iron or steel slag
2managed as an item of value.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill provides that the definition of “solid waste” does not include certain
iron and steel slags.
Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources administers rules
relating to the management and disposal of solid waste. “Solid waste” includes
garbage, sludge from treatment plants and pollution control facilities, and other
discarded or salvageable materials. “Solid waste” does not include material in
domestic sewage, irrigation return flows, or industrial discharges subject to permits,
or certain radioactive or nuclear materials. This bill provides that “solid waste” does
not include slag generated by the production or processing of iron or steel and that
is managed as an item of value in a controlled manner and is not discarded.
