Original bill text including detailed provisions about scrap tire disposal accounts, grant amounts, and eligibility criteria was removed as this document shows amendment instructions rather than the final bill text.

A new section was added stating the act becomes effective when it becomes law.

New penalty provisions added to Section 1(e) that make non-compliant local governments ineligible for grants from multiple waste management funds and withhold tax proceeds if they fail to meet specific compliance requirements under G.S. 130A-309.09A(b), G.S. 130A-309.09A(d), and G.S. 130A-309.09B(a).

Minor formatting corrections throughout the document, including removing draft session information, correcting section lettering from (e) to (d) in some places, and fixing text flow issues in the grant allocation percentages.

The bill title was changed from 'County Waste Management Assistance' to 'County Waste Management/Nonbetterment Costs' to reflect the addition of a new exemption provision for municipalities.

Sponsor and referral information was removed from the header section, likely due to procedural updates or formatting changes in the legislative process.

Section numbering and formatting inconsistencies appear in the provided diff, particularly around section headers and line breaks, which may require further editorial review before final passage.
