SOLID WASTE – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding county solid waste disposal sites.

This bill amends Idaho state law to clarify definitions and update procedures related to county solid waste disposal sites and management. It empowers county commissioners to establish, operate, and maintain their own waste disposal systems using various funding sources, including bonds and current revenues, while allowing counties to choose whether to contract out these services. The legislation also permits counties to implement flow control measures that require waste haulers to use designated local facilities, but only after completing a detailed independent study that analyzes financial impacts, cost-benefit factors, liability risks, and regulatory compliance. Additionally, the bill defines key terms such as "major solid waste generator" and "flow control" to provide clearer legal standards for waste management decisions.
