MODERATE

This bill was amended to expand who can be restricted from issuing permits for certain waste facilities, add a population-based exemption, and adjust the distance requirement for siting restrictions near water conservation areas. The changes make the bill's restrictions apply to both local governments and the state Department of Environmental Protection, while also creating an exemption for smaller counties.

Scope change

The bill's scope was expanded to include the Department of Environmental Protection in addition to local governments, and a new exemption was added for counties with populations under 1.7 million.

ELIGIBILITY

Added the Department of Environmental Protection to the list of entities prohibited from issuing construction permits for certain waste facilities, expanding the bill's reach beyond just local governments.

Added an exemption for counties with populations under 1.7 million, meaning these smaller counties are not subject to the new siting restrictions.

REQUIREMENT

Changed the distance requirement from 2 miles to 1 mile for siting waste facilities near water conservation areas, making the restriction more stringent.

TECHNICAL

Adjusted formatting and spacing throughout the document to align with the committee version of the bill.
