What’s in it
This bill relates to solid waste collection and disposal services by creating exemptions for service charges. The bill allows real property owners to opt out of solid waste collection and disposal services (services) provided by a county or city if services are provided to the real property owner by a different entity. A real property owner who opts out of services will not be charged any fees associated with the services from the county or city. The opt-out will continue until the real property owner opts back in to the service or the title of the property changes.
Read the full explanation
To opt out of the services, the real property owner must submit to the county or city an application that provides information relating to its alternative service provider, along with other information deemed necessary by the county or city. The applications must be approved unless unsatisfactory information is provided.
