EHB 1200 – Sewage Christmas Tree

Christmas Tree Alert! There isn’t anything too remarkable about House Bill 1200 to my eye, just that it was a good example of the species of conference committee bill known as the Christmas Tree. The original bill allows a county that does not contain a city to change the composition of the county solid waste district board if the county executive and the county fiscal body agree to the change. However, the conference committee report incorporates parts of ESB 446 having to do with metered sewage service at campgrounds and parts of ESB 279 having to do with reporting requirements for solid waste management districts that own landfills.
