Recycling goals and distribution of state funding for solid waste purposes clarified, and provisions for establishing and operating solid waste management districts modified.

HF 3667 clarifies recycling goals and state funding distribution for Minnesota's solid waste management districts. It requires districts to adopt recycling goals based on the counties they cover - using metropolitan counties' goals if the district includes both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas (Section 2). The bill also mandates that state funding for districts be distributed as if allocated directly to the member counties, rather than as a single district amount (Section 3). These changes streamline how districts set targets and receive funds, affecting all counties participating in solid waste management districts established under new provisions. The bill repeals outdated sections and adds definitions to clarify district operations.
