AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Mississippi's laws regarding hazardous waste disposal. It removes the prohibition on disposing of hazardous waste through underground injection methods, which involves injecting waste deep underground. Additionally, it eliminates the requirement for the Permit Board, the body responsible for issuing permits for hazardous waste facilities, to consider how proposed commercial hazardous waste management facilities align with the Mississippi Capacity Assurance Plan and any related interstate or regional agreements. The bill also removes legislative findings that previously stated compliance with federal law, and makes conforming changes to other sections of the law to reflect these amendments.
