The bill authorizes the Shelby County Commission to sell commodities generated from the operation of its public landfill, specifically gas, minerals, and other related products. The sales must be conducted through a competitive bidding process, ensuring that contracts are awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Additionally, the contracts for these sales cannot exceed a duration of 20 years. The proceeds from these sales will be deposited into the General Fund of Shelby County and allocated for purposes such as solid waste collection and disposal, maintenance and construction of the landfill, and other legally permitted uses.
The bill also includes a provision that it will take effect on October 1, 2026. The new legal language inserted into the bill includes the authorization for the sale of commodities and the stipulations regarding competitive bidding and the use of proceeds, while no specific deletions from current law are noted in the text provided.
