HB 1536 -- Solid Waste Management

Sponsor:  Schlottach

This bill revises provisions relating to allocation of revenues
deposited into the Solid Waste Management Fund each fiscal year.
Up to 43% of the revenues will be dedicated to the elimination of
illegal solid waste disposal, to identify and prosecute persons
disposing of solid waste illegally, to conduct solid waste
permitting activities, and to administer grants and perform other
duties imposed in Sections 260.200 - 260.345, RSMo, and Section
260.432.  At least 57% of the revenues will be allocated through
grants to participating cities, counties, and districts.

Sixty percent of the revenue generated within each region will be
allocated to the cities and counties of the district or to
persons or entities providing solid waste management, waste
reduction, or recycling services in these cities and counties.
Each district will receive a minimum of $75,000.

Up to $400,000 of the moneys allocated will be made available for
solid waste management districts to apply to the department for a
three-to-one matching grant of up to $20,000 per district per
year to be used for the purpose of solid waste district
operations.

Any remaining moneys in the fund will be used to provide grants
for statewide solid waste management planning or research
projects including contracted services.

If moneys owed are not transmitted in the time frame established
by the rule promulgated, interest will be imposed at the rate of
10% per annum from the prescribed due date until payment is
actually made.  These interest amounts will be deposited to the
credit of the fund.
