Bill overview
This bill creates a dedicated fund within the state treasury to support efforts in material waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery. It establishes three specific accounts within the fund: one for solid waste staff, another for perpetual care at disposal sites, and a third for a circular economy institute at Michigan State University. The bill also outlines how money from these accounts should be spent, covering areas like permitting, enforcement, research, and grants for recycling programs and infrastructure. Finally, it requires annual reporting on the department’s activities and progress toward recycling goals.
