This bill mandates that state construction contracts must include a provision for the separation of hazardous material and hazardous waste from construction and demolition debris at the construction site before it is transported to a recycling facility. The bill amends RSA 21-I:81-a by adding a new paragraph that defines the requirement for hazardous material and waste separation, referencing the definitions of hazardous material and waste as per RSA 147-B:2, VIII and VII, respectively. It also provides a definition for "construction and demolition debris" as found in RSA 149-M:4, IV-a.

The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage. The fiscal note attached to the bill, as amended by the House, indicates that there is no fiscal impact on state, county, and local expenditures or revenue. The Office of Legislative Budget Assistant has confirmed this assessment. No specific insertions or deletions of legal language are provided in the summary text provided.
