Solid Waste Disposal Administrative Penalties
Our Position: support
Bill Number: HB 1056
Sponsor: Rep. McCann/ Sen. Kopp
Legislative Session: 2009
Authorizes the department of public health and environment (department) to assess an administrative penalty against a solid waste disposal site, facility, or person for violations of solid waste disposal requirements. Allows the department to issue an order assessing an administrative penalty, as well as requiring compliance with solid waste disposal requirements, without first conducting a hearing but allows the person subject to the penalty to request a hearing.
Outlines the procedures for hearings on such orders and on motions to stay the enforcement of such orders pending the outcome of the hearing. Increases the amount of administrative, civil, and criminal penalties for violations of the solid waste disposal laws from $2,000 to $10,000.
Adds criteria that the department, an administrative law judge, or a court is to consider when determining the amount of an administrative or civil penalty.
