The proposed bill mandates that any contract related to a host fee for solid waste landfills must be voted on during a regularly scheduled meeting of the host community where the landfill is situated. It defines a "host community" as the nearest governmental unit with zoning authority within a twelve-mile radius of the landfill site. The bill stipulates that the host fee agreement or contract will expire after two years, with the possibility of renewal for an additional two years at the same rate or through renegotiation for a new amount. It also specifies that such contracts must have defined beginning and end dates and cannot include provisions for perpetuity.

Additionally, the bill requires that any agreement or contract for a host fee be formally voted on and signed by the mayor or county judge, depending on the closest governmental unit. This legislative change aims to ensure transparency and community involvement in decisions regarding host fees associated with solid waste landfills, thereby enhancing local governance and accountability.
