2001 House Bill 4110

Introduced in the House

Jan. 31, 2001

Introduced by Rep. Bruce Patterson (R-21)

To prohibit solid waste haulers from transporting and solid waste disposal sites from accepting solid waste that was produced outside of Michigan. Presently, shipments of solid waste are protected as ‘interstate trade’ under the Interstate Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, which prevents states from prohibiting them. The bill states that, if it were passed into law, it would not be enforced unless the United States Congress granted states a waiver.

Referred to the Committee on Land Use and Environment
