Urges Governor to make appointments to "Advisory Council on Solid Waste Management" and "Recycling Market Development Council."
This Senate Resolution (SR 79) urges Governor Phil Murphy to appoint members to two existing state councils as required by law. It specifically requests appointments to the Advisory Council on Solid Waste Management (established by the 1970 Solid Waste Management Act) and the Recycling Market Development Council (created by P.L.2019, c.439). Both councils have been inactive due to expired member terms and unfulfilled appointments, despite their statutory roles in reviewing waste policies, improving recycling markets, and addressing challenges like China's 2018 recycling import ban. The resolution does not create new policy but seeks to reactivate these bodies to address current waste management gaps.
