This bill would have created new definitions and a state advisory council focused on what it calls a "circular energy economy," which involves converting waste materials into energy or other products instead of sending them to landfills. The advisory council would have studied and recommended policies to support these waste-to-energy technologies, and the bill would have prevented local governments and special districts from banning such facilities in their areas. Who it may affect: local governments and special districts, waste management industries, and communities where circular energy or advanced recovery facilities might be sited.
