Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill changes the law regarding the reuse or recycling of construction and demolition debris by certain solid waste processing facilities by delaying the date by which those facilities must reuse or recycle a certain percentage of such debris and enacting certain requirements for the use of those materials. This delay reverses a revenue loss and deallocation of $375,000 contained in P.L2021, c. 626. Any additional costs to the Department of Environmental Protection or the Public Utilities Commission as a result of the additional reporting requirement related to operation of State-owned landfills or the management of sludge generated by wastewater treatment plants are anticipated to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
