Environment (Waste Management)

HB 2288 modifies setback distance rules for solid waste disposal facilities in counties. It sets maximum distances: three miles from incorporated cities, schools, churches, subdivisions, or parks; three-quarters of a mile from residential homes; and 200 feet from property lines. These rules apply to county ordinances governing solid waste disposal siting and prevent stricter local requirements. The bill directly affects waste disposal operators and nearby residents or property owners. It does not change existing zoning laws but limits how close facilities can be to certain locations.
