Senate Bill No. 621, introduced by Reinhardt, aims to amend solid waste management regulations in Oklahoma by exempting certain municipal waste combustors from subsequent oversight by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Specifically, the bill stipulates that any municipal waste combustor that is already subject to oversight under 40 C.F.R., Part 60, Subpart Eb, will not be subject to additional regulations concerning general-purpose waste incineration or the incineration of specified waste sources, which includes biomedical, hospital, medical, infectious, commercial solid, and industrial solid waste.

The bill includes a provision for codification, indicating that the new law will be added to the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 2-10-206 of Title 27A, unless there is a duplication in numbering. Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, emphasizing the urgency of the changes proposed for the preservation of public peace, health, or safety.
