Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law prohibits various items and substances, including lead acid batteries, major appliances, and waste oil, from being disposed of in landfills.

This substitute amendment prohibits the disposal in landfills of used automotive oil filters. The substitute amendment also generally prohibits the disposal in landfills of materials that have been used to absorb spilled or used petroleum-derived or synthetic oil. The prohibitions take effect a year after the bill is enacted.
