Bill > A2580

This bill introduces new regulations for businesses involved in the recycling industry, requiring them to register with the Attorney General within 90 days of the bill's enactment, providing their business name and addresses where trucks or equipment are kept. The Attorney General will then issue a recycling registration. Furthermore, the bill amends existing laws to expand the scope of disclosure statements and licensing requirements to explicitly include recycling services, ensuring that businesses engaged in recycling must hold a recycling license. This involves changes to definitions and procedures related to applicants, applications, disclosure statements, and the overall licensing process, shifting more authority and responsibility for licensing and oversight in these industries to the Attorney General from the Department of Environmental Protection. The bill also establishes new provisions for fee schedules, a shared information management system among state agencies, a debarment list, and encourages interstate cooperation for information sharing regarding solid waste, hazardous waste, and recycling industries.
