AI Summary

  • Amends Section 22-27-48 of the Alabama Code to change the timeline for local governing body approval of solid waste facility applications from 90 days to 180 days for new facilities.

  • Changes the default outcome when a local governing body fails to act: silence now constitutes denial (instead of approval) for new facility applications after 180 days.

  • Maintains the existing 90-day timeline and approval-by-default for applications not involving new facilities.

  • Requires local governing bodies to affirmatively approve or deny new facility applications in writing within 180 days; failure to act results in automatic denial.
