2003 Senate Bill 98 ↩

Senate Roll Call 459: Passed

To prohibit the disposal in Michigan landfills of solid waste imported from Canada and other states if the waste contains materials which Michigan environmental laws prohibit for disposal in state landfills. Before waste could be imported from another state or country, the sender would have to be on a Department of Environmental Quality list of jurisdictions whose solid waste regulatory system is at least as stringent as Michigan’s (see Senate Bill 502), or the waste would have to be processed through a transfer station which documented that items prohibited from Michigan landfills had removed.
