AN ACT ELIMINATING THE USE OF INCINERATION FOR SOLID WASTE PROCESSING.

HB 5480 eliminates the use of incineration for processing municipal solid waste, requiring communities to adopt new waste processing technologies instead. It directly affects municipalities that currently use incineration for waste management. The bill mandates replacing incineration with newer technologies designed to create local jobs and lower waste processing costs for cities and towns. The key provision is a statutory change to prohibit incineration as a waste processing method, directing a shift toward alternative systems. The bill's stated purpose emphasizes cost reduction and job creation through this transition.
