SOLID WASTE FACILITIES -- Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to revise provisions regarding the Idaho Solid Waste Facilities Act.

SOLID WASTE FACILITIES

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

This legislation reduces unnecessary government complexity by consolidating Idaho's solid waste regulatory framework under a single, clearly accountable authority. It removes regulatory responsibility from public health districts and assigns it to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality. By clarifying authority and responsibility, the legislation streamlines state regulation, improves accountability, reduces unnecessary red tape, and modernizes Idaho Code while continuing to protect public health and the environment.
