Item 1

 
 
SUMMARY

 
This bill authorizes a municipality to enter into a contract
with a private entity to operate a municipal solid waste facility
as long as the municipality controls the decisions regarding the
type and source of waste that is accepted and the municipality
accepts only waste that is generated within the State. The bill
specifies that, upon the sale or transfer of a municipal solid
waste facility to a private entity, the license issued by the
department for that solid waste facility is terminated. This
bill also bans the disposal in a solid waste facility owned by a
municipality of waste that originated outside the State.
