This bill suspends the acceptance of new landfill applications until July 1, 2031, to ensure that any future landfills are appropriately sited and aligned with New Hampshire's solid waste management goals. During this suspension, the Department of Environmental Services may accept applications but will not evaluate or process them until new regulations and data are developed. However, the bill allows for the expansion or modification of existing landfill facilities that were fully permitted as of December 1, 2022.

Additionally, the bill establishes a committee tasked with studying the feasibility of incinerating solid waste. The committee will consist of members from both the Senate and House of Representatives and will review the current permit process, environmental impacts, and the potential effects of incineration on landfill capacity. The committee is required to report its findings and recommendations by November 1, 2025. The bill does not include any provisions for funding, but it is expected to have indeterminable fiscal impacts on state and local revenues and expenditures due to the suspension of new landfill permits and potential increases in waste disposal costs.
