Bill Summary

Devolve All Of The Powers, Duties, Responsibilities, Assets, And Liabilities Of The Greater Greenville Sanitation District To The Governing Body Of Greenville County; And To Repeal Act 1543 Of 1968, As Amended, Relating To The Creation Of The Greater Greenville Sanitation District.

AI Summary

This bill dissolves the Greater Greenville Sanitation District and transfers its responsibilities to Greenville County, with a carefully planned transition process. The bill requires the sanitation district's commission to cease waste collection by December 31, 2025, and mandates a comprehensive wind-down procedure. Specifically, the commission must mail three separate notices to property owners informing them about selecting a new private waste provider, include details about providers and future tax changes, and provide job fair opportunities for its employees. The commission is also required to sell its property on government surplus websites, prepare a detailed accounting of its financial records, and deliver those records to the Greenville County Administrator by June 30, 2026. Additionally, the commission must satisfy all existing bonds and debts, and remit any remaining funds to the Greenville County Treasurer. The bill effectively repeals the original 1968 Act that created the Greater Greenville Sanitation District and will take effect upon the Governor's approval, marking a significant reorganization of local waste management services in the Greenville area.
