HB 2472 -- Solid Waste Processing Facilities

Sponsor:  Hobbs

This bill requires any city or political subdivision that owns or
operates a solid waste processing facility where the collection
or processing of solid waste is currently being provided by a
private entity to notify the entity by certified mail of its
intent to own or operate a processing facility in the area.

No city or political subdivision may begin ownership or operation
of a solid waste reprocessing facility where solid waste
processing is currently handled by a private entity until at
least five years from notifying the private entity of its intent
to begin operation.  If the city or political subdivision does
not begin processing solid waste within six years of the
notification, it must renotify the private entity and pay the
private entity an amount at least equal to the sum the entity
would have received for providing the services if the services
were provided under a contract.
