Bill > S751

This bill aims to restore public health protections related to solid waste transport vehicles by repealing a previous section of law (Section 59.2 of S.L. 2013-413) and requiring the Commission for Public Health to readopt a specific rule (15A NCAC 13B .0105) that existed on August 22, 2013. The bill directs the Commission and the Department of Environmental Quality to implement the previous version of the rule until the newly readopted rule becomes effective. The readoption process is streamlined, bypassing typical rule-making procedures, and the rule will become effective as if it had received 10 or more written objections. Essentially, the bill seeks to reinstate health and environmental regulations for garbage trucks that were previously in place before being modified, with the goal of protecting public health from potential leaks and contamination during waste transportation.
