Bill > S2531

This bill establishes the Plastic Waste Conversion Facility Act, which prohibits the state from issuing any permits or licenses for the construction or operation of new plastic waste conversion facilities, and also prevents the granting or issuance of any applications for such permits or licenses. The act defines a "plastic waste conversion facility" broadly to include any facility that uses specific "regulated technologies" – such as gasification, pyrolysis, or depolymerization – to process various forms of plastic waste, post-use polymers, or recovered materials into fuels, chemical feedstocks, or other products, regardless of how the facility is marketed or its operating temperature. The bill takes effect immediately upon its passage.
