Recycling goals and state funding distribution clarification for solid waste purposes with respect to solid waste management districts
This bill clarifies recycling targets and state funding for solid waste management districts in Minnesota. It requires districts to adopt recycling goals based on the average of their member counties' targets (using metropolitan county standards if the district includes both metro and non-metro areas), and mandates that state funding distributed to districts equals the sum of funds that would have gone to the individual counties. The bill repeals outdated sections and establishes new definitions for districts, boards, and member counties under revised statutes. It directly affects multi-county solid waste districts and their participating counties by standardizing how goals and funds are calculated.
