County solid waste assessment fees authorized

HB 4361 increases the maximum county solid waste assessment fee from 50 cents to $1.00 per ton for waste disposal. This bill directly affects counties and regional solid waste authorities, which would collect the higher fee from entities disposing of solid waste within their jurisdiction. The fee increase is intended to cover administrative costs, refuse cleanup, litter control programs, and other solid waste management expenses. The bill amends West Virginia Code §7-5-22 to authorize this specific rate adjustment.
