History

Laws 2000, Chapter 177, required that if a city or town provides waste or garbage collection services outside of its boundaries, then the city or town shall be subject to various record keeping, fee and in-lieu contribution requirements. Last year’s legislation also provided that these requirements shall not apply to a city or town if the all of the following apply:

1.           The city or town provides waste or garbage collection services outside its borders in an unincorporated territory that is within three miles of its borders and within its municipal planning area as designated in the land use map of the municipality’s general plan

2.           The city or town does not provide waste or garbage services in an incorporated area other than its own.

3.           The city or town is located in a county with a population exceeding two million persons according to the most recent decennial census.

Provisions

·              Eliminates the final exemption that stipulates that a city or town, providing garbage collection outside its boundaries, and is located within a county with a population exceeding two million persons, be exempt from the record keeping, fee and in-lieu contribution requirements.

HB 2471 was amended in the Public Institutions & Rural Affairs Committee as follows:

·              Reinserts the stricken language and provides an exemption from the record keeping and fee requirements for any town with a population of less than 2,500 persons and that allows private enterprise to provide commercial and residential waste or garbage collection in the city or town and that meets the other two exemption criteria.
