AI-generated reading aid from the bill's amendatory text — verify against the official bill.

The bill prohibits the issuance of construction permits for new solid waste disposal or waste-to-energy facilities within a specified radius of residential properties and schools.

  • Section 403.706

    A local government may not issue a construction permit pursuant to this section for a new solid waste disposal facility that uses an ash-producing incinerator or for a waste-to-energy facility, if the proposed location of such facility is sited within a one-half mile radius of any residential property or school, as measured from the stack.

    This change restricts local governments from permitting new waste facilities near residential areas and schools.

  • Section 403.707

    The department may not issue a construction permit pursuant to this section for a new solid waste disposal facility that uses an ash-producing incinerator or for a waste-to-energy facility, if the proposed location of such facility is sited within a one-half mile radius of any residential property or school, as measured from the stack.

    The same restrictions on issuing permits for waste facilities near residential areas and schools apply to the Department of Environmental Protection.
