Introduced Version, Senate Bill 0279 I’d love to know the backstory on this bill. According to the LSA digest:
Environmental permit applications. Eliminates: (1) the good character requirements for applications for permits for solid waste and hazardous waste facilities; and (2) the local or regional need demonstration requirement for applications for permits for solid waste facilities.
Seems like good character in our solid & hazardous waste operators and having a local or regional need for such facilities is a good idea. We wouldn’t want to become the dumping ground of the country, particularly if such dumping grounds are being run by crooks. But, quite likely, I’m missing the point. This is up for hearing before the Senate Energy and Environmental Affairs Committee on January 18, 2005 upon recess of the Senate in Room 233.
