The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 297H.01, subdivision 8, to modify the definition of "residential generator" in the context of solid waste management. The updated definition now includes an additional category: organizations that are exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and receive donations for resale and salvage from entities that fall under the previously defined categories of residential generators. This change expands the scope of who qualifies as a residential generator, thereby potentially impacting waste management services and regulations.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the amendments will take effect on July 1, 2025. The previous language that excluded self-haulers from the definition of residential generators has been deleted, allowing for a broader interpretation of what constitutes a residential generator in the state. This legislative change aims to enhance the management of solid waste by recognizing more entities involved in the generation of waste.
