Bill > A6179

This bill modifies provisions concerning licenses for individuals and businesses that transport, broker, or process solid waste or soil and fill recyclable materials, which are defined as non-putrescible aggregate substitutes like crushed brick or concrete, or soil generated from construction activities that can be reused as fill. Key changes include expanding the definition of "broker" to clarify when a person is not considered a broker, and to specify that subcontractors must be licensed if they perform services within New Jersey or transport materials to an out-of-state facility. The bill also introduces new definitions related to utility operations, such as "extension of a utility facility," "intra-utility transportation or processing," and "public utility," to exempt certain activities by public utilities and their contractors from licensing requirements when managing soil and fill recyclable materials. Additionally, it adjusts the timeframe for businesses to apply for a soil and fill recycling license after registering with the department, extending it from 30 or 45 days to 90 days.
