RETURNING FOREIGN SOLID WASTE S.B. 783 (S-2): FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 783 (Substitute S-2 as reported)
Sponsor: Senator Michael D. Bishop
Committee: Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs
CONTENT
The bill would amend Part 115 (Solid Waste Management) of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to require a court to order a person to return solid waste to the country in which it was generated, or pay to the State the cost of returning the waste, if the person violated proposed Section 11526e (which would prohibit a person from delivering to a landfill, or accepting for disposal in a landfill, municipal solid waste that was generated outside of the United States, if Congress enacted legislation authorizing the prohibition).
The bill is tie-barred to House Bill 5176, which would add Section 11526e to the Act.
MCL 324.11546 Legislative Analyst: Suzanne Lowe
FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would be revenue-neutral for the State unless the liable party did not pay the State a sufficient amount to cover the full expense for removal of the waste.
