AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 3 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO COMPOSTING.

HB 235 amends Delaware Code to permit the composting of yard waste, food residuals, and other organic materials on properties zoned for agricultural use. This change directly affects farmers and agricultural landowners in Delaware by allowing them to compost these materials on their land without violating current zoning regulations. The key provision explicitly authorizes these specific composting activities on agricultural properties, which was not previously permitted under the existing code. The bill updates the legal framework to include this practice as a standard use for agricultural land.
