AI Summary

This bill amends the definitions in Kentucky law related to waste management and disposal. It redefines terms like "disposal," "municipal solid waste disposal facility," and "waste" to explicitly exclude "advanced recycling facilities" and "post-use polymers or recovered feedstocks" from certain regulations. The bill also adds new definitions for terms like "advanced recycling," "depolymerization," and "pyrolysis" to establish a regulatory framework for these emerging recycling technologies. Additionally, the bill makes conforming changes to the definition of "solid waste" in the solid waste management chapter of Kentucky law.
