HB 2252 Summary

• Repeals the process for proposing and adopting solid waste management regions and instead establishes ten fixed solid waste management districts with specific county assignments effective immediately.

• Modifies the allocation formula for revenues from the solid waste management fund by changing the distribution percentages for population (from 40% to 25%), adding a new 35% allocation based on land area, and adjusting the revenue-based allocation (from 60% to 40%).

• Increases the cap on district administration funds from $50,000 to $250,000 or 15% of allocable revenue (whichever is less) with a minimum allocation of $50,000 per district.

• Creates a new section 260.337 defining "district administration" to include operational expenses, staff salaries, accounting activities, required reporting, grant administration, and technical assistance functions.

• Removes the previous process allowing counties to request regional reassignment every three years and requires compliance with district solid waste management plans as a condition for receiving grant funds.
