What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law requires a municipality to operate a recycling program to manage solid waste in compliance with certain criteria, except that a county may assume this responsibility in place of municipalities within the county. The Department of Natural Resources administers a program that provides financial assistance to local governments that operate recycling programs that satisfy the criteria specified in current law.
This bill increases the funding for local recycling programs by $13,000,000 in each fiscal year of the current fiscal biennium.
