A bill for an act providing for the processing of organic material into renewable fuel and digestate, providing fees, and providing penalties.

HSB 322 establishes a regulatory framework for community anaerobic digester systems that convert organic waste (like farm manure and crop residues) into renewable fuel and nutrient-rich digestate for fertilizer. It directly affects farmers, agricultural operations, and community projects using these systems by defining key terms, requiring permits, and setting fees for processing organic materials. The bill includes specific provisions for storing digester feedstock, manure, and digestate, along with penalties for non-compliance with safety and environmental standards. It creates a new legal chapter (the "Community Anaerobic Digester System Act") to govern these systems statewide. The bill focuses on standardizing operations to support renewable energy production from agricultural waste while managing environmental impacts.
