Bill > HB2761

This bill modifies requirements related to solid waste management in Missouri by repealing and reenacting several sections of state law. Key changes include updating the definition of "advanced recycling" to encompass a broader range of manufacturing processes for converting post-use plastics into new materials, and clarifying that these facilities are subject to manufacturer regulations. The bill also adjusts the solid waste management fee, increasing it from one dollar to two dollars and fifty cents per ton for landfill operators and transfer stations, with this new rate taking effect in October 2027 and subject to annual adjustments based on inflation. Furthermore, it allocates five million dollars annually from the Solid Waste Management Fund for the assessment, investigation, remediation, and management of abandoned solid waste disposal sites, and streamlines the allocation of remaining funds to support illegal solid waste disposal enforcement, permitting activities, and grant programs. Notably, the bill mandates the dissolution of state solid waste management districts by August 28, 2026, with remaining funds to be remitted to the Solid Waste Management Fund and open grants to be overseen by the department. Finally, it removes provisions related to familial relationships on solid waste management district executive boards and clarifies disclosure requirements for property containing solid waste disposal sites.
