Bill > HB222

This bill revises solid waste and construction and demolition debris laws in Ohio. The bill makes several key changes to how county and joint solid waste management districts are formed, managed, and potentially dissolved. Specifically, the bill establishes a new process for a county to withdraw from a joint solid waste management district, which involves creating a two-year memorandum of understanding between the counties in the district that details how they will operate during the transition period. If the counties cannot agree on the terms, a court of common pleas can help establish the memorandum's details. Upon expiration of the memorandum, the withdrawing county becomes its own county solid waste management district, and the remaining counties continue as a district. The bill also modifies provisions related to establishing new joint districts, joining existing districts, and uniting districts. Additionally, the legislation makes technical changes to how fees are collected and used by solid waste management districts, clarifies administrative procedures, and updates various references throughout the existing solid waste management laws. These changes are intended to provide more flexibility for counties in managing their solid waste districts while maintaining environmental protections and efficient waste management practices.
