Senate Passes Renewal Of Recycling Fee, Bill Returns To House
|
|
The Senate gave final, unanimous approval to House Bill 961 (Buxton-D-Dauphin) which extends the $2/ton Recycling Fee through 2020.
The legislation also requires the transfer of $1.25 million annually to a new Used Tire Pile Remediation Program from the Recycling Fund through FY 2012-13.
"Recycling and cleaning up tire piles are two initiatives that impact local communities, and it's important to provide this funding mechanism for the years ahead," said Sen. Mary Jo White (R-Venango), Majority Chair of the Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee.
The bill now returns to the House for a concurrence vote on Senate amendments.
