HB 2315 would require DEQ to consider whether a proposed permit for siting a solid waste or hazardous waste facility would have or add to a disparate impact on a racial or ethnic population.
A proposed strike-everything amendment establishes a study committee on this issue.
The text of this bill is the same as HB 2612 (2000) and HB 2457 (2001).
The proposed strike-everything amendment
contains the following provisions:
· The study committee will be made up of 17 persons: DEQ, DHS, Department of Insurance, two Representatives, two Senators, two city, two county, organization that represents entities that receive environmental permit, two homeowners, transportation organization, fire department, planning and zoning expertise.
· The committee will study and review the process for planning, zoning, siting, expansion and modification decisions relating to facilities that are required to obtain environmental permits.
· The committee will make recommendations on any statutory, regulatory or administrative process revisions.
· The committee is required to report on its findings and recommendations by December 1, 2002.
