This bill establishes a working group under the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency aimed at ending the land disposal of mixed municipal solid waste. The group will consist of 21 members, including representatives from the legislature, county officials, the solid waste industry, environmental groups, business interests, and the public. Members must be appointed by October 1, 2026, and will receive compensation for their time spent on group activities. The working group is tasked with studying and reporting on actionable steps to eliminate landfilling in Minnesota by 2040, with a report due by January 1, 2029.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $250,000 from the general fund for the working group's expenses in fiscal year 2027, which will be available until June 30, 2029. The working group meetings will be subject to open meeting laws, and it will dissolve upon the submission of its final report and recommendations. The report will include an assessment of the costs and potential savings associated with the proposed steps to end land disposal of mixed municipal solid waste.
