MODERATE

This bill version (S6316B) simplifies the definitions of waste removal costs by removing the distinction between 'estimated full cost' and 'full cost,' requiring haulers to provide a single range of prices. It also adds a new requirement for haulers to send an invoice immediately after service completion, while removing the previous requirement for a separate itemized receipt after payment. The bill further expands the state's environmental protection fund by adding new revenue sources from the environmental conservation law.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding waste removal invoicing is narrowed by removing the 'estimated full cost' definition and the requirement for a post-payment itemized receipt, while expanding the scope of funds contributing to the environmental protection fund.

DEFINITION

Removed the definition of 'estimated full cost' and simplified the cost terminology to just 'full cost' and 'expected full cost'.

REQUIREMENT

Added a requirement for waste haulers to provide an invoice of the full cost immediately after the waste removal service is completed.

Removed the requirement for waste haulers to provide a separate itemized receipt following customer payment.
