AI Summary

  • Creates new procedures allowing counties to unilaterally withdraw from joint solid waste management districts by adopting a resolution and entering into a memorandum of understanding with remaining member counties, with withdrawal becoming effective after a two-year transition period

  • Authorizes solid waste management districts in counties with populations between 53,000 and 58,000 to levy fees of $1-$2 per ton on construction and demolition debris disposed within the district, with 75% of proceeds going to local health districts and 25% to state environmental funds

  • Expands permitted uses of solid waste district special funds to include providing financial assistance to counties, health boards, municipalities, and townships for mitigating public health, safety, and welfare impacts from solid waste disposal or transfer facilities

  • Establishes phased-in fee structures for construction and demolition debris disposal, starting at $0.35-$0.70 per ton in year one and increasing to $1-$2 per ton by year three

  • Removes requirements for approval by other member counties when a county seeks to withdraw from a joint district, replacing the previous system requiring unanimous consent with a court-mediated process if counties cannot agree on transition terms
