AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend existing law to require the Department of Environmental Protection to adopt regulations related to violations of permit terms by solid waste disposal facilities located in environmental justice communities. The key provisions include imposing substantial monetary fines that increase with each violation, and potentially revoking permits for facilities that repeatedly violate the terms of their permit. The goal is to hold these facilities accountable and better protect environmental justice communities from the impacts of solid waste disposal.
