AI Summary

This bill requires the approval of the Environment Committee of the Connecticut legislature for any proposed revisions to the state's solid waste management plan or Comprehensive Materials Management Strategy. It also allows dealers to provide recycling receptacles at their businesses for rejected beverage containers, and directs the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection to issue a request for information on systems for processing solid waste in the state that do not involve incineration, combustion, or landfilling. The commissioner is then required to submit recommendations to the Environment Committee for a request for proposals on such waste processing systems, considering their environmental impacts, greenhouse gas emissions, municipal costs, and the ability to site facilities in non-environmental justice communities.
