The bill amends section 13-2039 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the Integrated Solid Waste Management Act. The key provision of the bill is the prohibition of land disposal of solar panels, wind turbine blades, and their component parts. This addition aims to address environmental concerns related to the disposal of these renewable energy technologies, ensuring that they are managed in a manner that does not harm the environment.

In addition to the new prohibition, the bill also repeals the original section 13-2039, indicating a comprehensive update to the regulations surrounding solid waste management in Nebraska. The bill maintains existing prohibitions on the land disposal of other materials, such as lead-acid batteries, waste oil, waste tires, discarded household appliances, and unregulated hazardous wastes, while introducing the new restrictions on solar and wind energy components.
