Florida H1089 amends waste management laws to restrict permits for new solid waste disposal facilities and waste-to-energy facilities.

Florida H1089 amends waste management laws to restrict permits for new solid waste disposal facilities and waste-to-energy facilities. It prohibits local governments from issuing construction permits for such facilities if they are sited within two miles of certain impoundment areas. The bill also modifies recycling goals, allowing counties to count renewable energy production towards recycling goals and permitting smaller counties to provide recycling opportunities instead of meeting specific recycling targets.
