Bill > SF1396

This bill amends Minnesota's environmental statutes to prohibit the Pollution Control Agency commissioner from creating rules that exclusively apply to specific types of landfills, particularly those that only accept construction and demolition debris. Specifically, the commissioner is barred from developing regulations that target landfills that exclusively handle construction and demolition waste, incidental nonrecyclable packaging, or industrial waste limited to materials like wood, concrete, porcelain fixtures, shingles, or window glass from construction material manufacturing. The bill's effective date is the day after final enactment, and it will apply to any proposed or adopted rules that have not yet taken effect. By restricting the commissioner's rulemaking authority for these specific types of waste disposal facilities, the bill aims to limit potentially overly targeted regulatory actions that might disproportionately impact construction and demolition waste management.
