Modifies provisions governing solid waste disposal area permits

This bill updates Missouri laws regarding solid waste disposal areas by replacing an existing statute with new provisions that require permits for operating or building such facilities. It establishes a process where the state department must conduct a preliminary site investigation and approve a location within sixty days before a permit can be sought. Additionally, the law mandates public involvement activities, including notifications to local officials, public awareness sessions, and community meetings with comment periods for proposed disposal sites.
