Bill > HB0348

This bill modifies hazardous waste fees and repeals the Hazardous Waste Facilities Management Act. It defines "demilitarization waste," which includes specific nerve, military, or chemical agents and related residues, and establishes a new fee structure for hazardous waste that contains both demilitarization waste and other hazardous components requiring treatment. The bill directs the Solid and Hazardous Waste Division to study and implement a flat fee schedule by July 1, 2013, with a transition period and specific fee rates for different types of waste and treatment scenarios until that date. Importantly, the bill repeals Title 19, Chapter 9, which established the Hazardous Waste Facilities Management Act and its associated authority, and makes technical adjustments to existing laws regarding hazardous waste disposal fees.
