With the recommendation that the substitute (S-4) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one recommended by the Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs. The substitute incorporates changes resulting from extensive negotiations on a large package of related bills which seek to restrict the deposit of imported solid waste in Michigan landfills, without violating the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution, or international trade agreements. See Senate-passed version for details.
