HB 2490 -- SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL AREA PERMITS

SPONSOR: Ealy

Currently, the Department of Natural Resources is prohibited from issuing a permit for the operation of a solid waste disposal area designed to serve a city with a population greater than 400,000 inhabitants located in more than one county, if the site is located within one-half mile of an adjoining municipality without its approval.

This bill changes the required distance from the adjoining municipality from one-half mile to two miles.

This bill is similar to HB 909 (2023).
