HI HB786

Increases the solid waste management surcharge imposed on solid waste disposed at permitted or unpermitted facilities within Hawaii, though the specific new rate is not specified in the bill text.

The surcharge is paid by the person or entity conducting the disposal, and facility owners or operators must transfer collected revenues to the Department of Health quarterly.

Additional revenue generated is intended to support the Department of Health's environmental management program and reduce the general fund subsidy for the program.

Effective date is July 1, 2050.
