Introduced
by
To establish a procedure under the "adopt-a-river program" for volunteers to report to the state the nature and amount of litter collected, and to then use the information in developing and administering a state antilitter marketing program. The bill is tie-barred to Senate Bill 721, meaning it cannot become law unless that bill also becomes law. Senate Bill 721 would impose a $3 per ton solid waste disposal surcharge on garbage placed in Michigan landfills. The Senate Fiscal Agency estimates that this would impose some $15 million in new fees on households and businesses.
Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (S-2) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that does not include the tie-bar to Senate Bill 721, which would impose a $3 per ton solid waste disposal surcharge on garbage placed in Michigan landfills. Without the tie-bar, that bill need not become law for this one to become law.
The substitute passed by voice vote
