citizen suits committee; solid waste
SB 1406 establishes a temporary committee to study whether Arizona should allow citizens to sue polluters over solid and hazardous waste violations under state law. The committee includes bipartisan legislators, environmental groups, citizens' rights advocates, industry representatives, and waste facility stakeholders. It must report its findings to state leaders by December 31, 2026, and will dissolve after June 30, 2027. This bill is procedural - it creates a study group to evaluate potential policy changes, not a new law.
