AI Summary
This bill requires transparency and disclosure by materials recovery facilities (MRFs) in Massachusetts. It defines key terms like "Actual Value," "Average Market Value (AMV)," "Commodity Composition," and "Contaminant." The bill mandates that MRFs regularly report to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection on the inbound and outbound weights of various commodities and contaminants, as well as the destinations of these materials. It also requires MRFs to use the most recently reported commodity compositions and index values in their AMV calculations for municipal customers and to provide reports to the publishers of the indices they use for pricing. Additionally, the bill limits the fees MRFs can charge for excess contamination and requires that residue disposed by MRFs meet state standards for waste ban materials.
