COUNTY LAW – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding solid waste disposal sites.

This bill amends Idaho's county solid waste disposal laws to clarify definitions and add requirements for implementing "flow control" (rules directing waste haulers to specific disposal sites). It directly affects county governments by mandating that any county enacting flow control must first complete an independent study analyzing financial impacts, liability risks, environmental compliance, and alternatives. Key provisions require counties to demonstrate through detailed analysis how flow control protects public investment, prevents underutilized facilities, and ensures waste is managed compliantly. The bill also makes technical corrections to existing definitions and references in waste disposal statutes.
