Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to SB 6055 establish a pilot program that allows cities and towns partially located in an apple maggot quarantine area to conduct controlled outdoor burning of brush and yard waste. The program requires that burning be supervised by local fire officials and limits the practice to two times per year without the need for a burning permit. This amendment matters because it aims to address waste management needs while also controlling a pest that threatens agriculture, allowing local communities to manage their waste more effectively and safeguard public health. The program will be evaluated for effectiveness and report back to the legislature by the end of 2020.
