The proposed bill aims to regulate the disposal of wind and solar energy infrastructure in Minnesota by introducing new provisions under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 115A. It defines "wind and solar energy infrastructure" to include solar photovoltaic modules and wind energy conversion systems, along with their respective components. The bill prohibits the disposal of such infrastructure in mixed municipal solid waste, non-recycling solid waste facilities, or on land, thereby ensuring that these materials are not improperly discarded.

Additionally, the bill establishes enforcement mechanisms under existing sections 115.071 and 116.072, allowing for compliance monitoring and penalties for violations. The new regulations will take effect the day following the final enactment of the bill, emphasizing the state's commitment to responsible waste management practices related to renewable energy technologies.
