AN ACT AUTHORIZING REGIONAL SOLID WASTE AGREEMENTS FOR MUNICIPALITIES.

HB 6228 allows local governments (municipalities) to form regional agreements for managing solid waste and recycling. This bill removes legal barriers that previously prevented communities from collaborating on waste systems. By enabling shared regional agreements, the bill aims to lower waste management costs for local governments and reduce the need to ship municipal waste out of state for landfill disposal. The key change is authorizing these cooperative arrangements under state law.
