Plain-language change summary

The amendment to SB 603 changes the definition of a "commercial solid waste facility" to clarify what types of facilities are excluded from this designation. Specifically, it now exempts facilities that only handle waste collected by their owner or operator, as long as those operators are licensed as common carriers and follow certain regulatory requirements. This change is significant because it may make it easier for specific waste management operations to function without being fully classified as commercial facilities, which could reduce regulatory burdens and streamline operations for those focused on waste consolidation and recycling efforts.
