SB265

Senate Bill 265 seeks to reduce the number of members on the Wastewater Licensing Committee from eight to five and on the Solid Waste Licensing Committee from seven to five. The bill outlines specific adjustments to the composition of these committees, primarily by reducing the number of industry-specific representatives. Additionally, the legislation extends the duration of apprenticeship licenses for solid waste operators from one year to two years. Finally, it clarifies the eligibility requirements for individuals seeking training as environmental officers, specifically noting that they must be current employees of specified public entities or state agencies. The overall goal is to streamline the membership and administrative requirements of these regulatory bodies.
