Bill Summary

This bill suspends applications for new landfills and establishes a committee to study the feasibility of incinerating solid waste.

AI Summary

This bill suspends the process for issuing permits for new landfills until July 1, 2031, meaning the Department of Environmental Services can accept applications but cannot evaluate or process them during this period, with the exception that existing landfill facilities can still be expanded or modified. Additionally, the bill establishes a committee composed of legislative members to study the feasibility of incinerating solid waste, examining factors like the permit process, environmental impacts, and the effect on landfill capacity, with the committee required to report its findings and recommendations by November 1, 2025.
