AN ACT relating to solid waste management facilities and declaring an emergency.

This law prevents counties and waste management districts from charging extra fees or imposing permitting requirements on solid waste facilities located in other counties that accept their waste. In other words, a county cannot penalize or create barriers for out-of-county facilities that handle its residents' trash. The emergency declaration means it took effect immediately upon signing. Who it may affect: solid waste management facility operators and local governments, including counties and waste management districts.
