AI Summary
This bill allows existing rural recycling cooperatives to continue serving their members even if a certified waste motor carrier, which is a company authorized to transport waste, begins offering the same services in the same area. Specifically, a recycling cooperative association that has been operating continuously for at least 12 months before a certified waste motor carrier starts providing services in that area will be permitted to keep serving its members. This provision aims to protect established local recycling efforts from being immediately displaced by new commercial services.
