The bill amends Section 23-19-13 of the General Laws concerning the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation, specifically addressing municipal participation in the state solid waste management program. Key changes include an increase in the tipping fee from three dollars ($3.00) to six dollars ($6.00) per vehicle, while maintaining an exemption for vehicles carrying municipal solid waste. Additionally, the bill stipulates that all fees collected must be paid to the town of Johnston on an annual basis instead of biannually. The legislation does not include any new mandates for municipalities to initiate recycling programs or outline responsibilities for covering costs associated with solid waste disposal, focusing solely on the adjustments to the tipping fee and payment schedule.
