A "
strike-all” amendmen
t"
was adopted that significantly amends the scope of the bill so that it only applies to local governments that have an open market for solid waste collection. The amended bill makes it more expensive for local governments (that currently have an open market system for solid waste collection) to transition to a franchise agreement or provide the service in-house.
The amended bill does
NOT
affect cities that have a franchise agreement with one or multiple solid waste providers or cities that provide their own solid waste collection.
If your city currently has an open market system for solid waste collection, where residents or homeowner associations contract directly with a solid waste provider, please let us know.
