Senate Bill 1556, known as the Murfreesboro Solid Waste Authority Law, amends Chapter 429 of the Private Acts of 1931 to create a solid waste authority in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The bill establishes the governance structure of the authority, which will be overseen by a board of directors appointed by the mayor and approved by the City Council. It grants the authority exclusive jurisdiction over solid waste collection within its boundaries, allowing it to manage disposal facilities, issue revenue bonds, and enter contracts for solid waste processing. The authority is also empowered to regulate the flow of municipal solid waste and restrict access to its disposal sites.

The legislation further details the authority's financial mechanisms, including the issuance of bonds secured by revenue, and allows the City to guarantee these bonds without incurring liability for the authority's debts. It provides the City with the ability to allocate funds, levy taxes, and acquire project sites to support solid waste initiatives, while ensuring that taxes for these purposes are exempt from existing limitations. The bill also outlines penalties for violations of authority ordinances and includes provisions for the authority's dissolution, ensuring a comprehensive framework for solid waste management and resource recovery in Murfreesboro.
