  1  1    Section 1.  Section 455B.310, subsection 3, Code 2007, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    3.  a.  If a sanitary landfill required to pay a tonnage
  1  4 fee under this section has an updated comprehensive plan
  1  5 approved by the department, the sanitary landfill operator
  1  6 shall retain, in addition to the ninety=five cents retained
  1  7 pursuant to subsection 4, twenty=five cents of the tonnage fee
  1  8 per ton of solid waste in the fiscal year beginning July 1,
  1  9 1998, and every year thereafter.  In the fiscal year beginning
  1 10 July 1, 1999, and every year thereafter, any planning area
  1 11 which meets the statewide average, as determined by the
  1 12 department on July 1, 1999, shall retain, in addition to the
  1 13 twenty=five cents retained pursuant to this subsection
  1 14 paragraph, ten cents of the tonnage fee per ton of solid waste
  1 15 regardless of whether the planning area subsequently fails to
  1 16 meet the statewide average.  Any tonnage fees retained
  1 17 pursuant to this subsection paragraph shall be used for waste
  1 18 reduction, recycling, or small business pollution prevention
  1 19 purposes.  Any tonnage fee retained pursuant to this
  1 20 subsection paragraph shall be taken from that portion of the
  1 21 tonnage fee which would have been allocated to funding
  1 22 alternatives to landfills pursuant to section 455E.11,
  1 23 subsection 2, paragraph "a", subparagraph (1).
  1 24    b.  A sanitary landfill that provides hazardous waste to a
  1 25 household hazardous waste collection site that is licensed as
  1 26 a reverse distributor by the board of pharmacy examiners and
  1 27 endorsed by the governor's office of drug control policy shall
  1 28 retain, in addition to the amounts provided in paragraph "a",
  1 29 forty=nine cents per ton of the tonnage fee per ton of solid
  1 30 waste.  Any tonnage fee retained pursuant to this paragraph
  1 31 shall be used solely for purposes of providing pharmaceutical
  1 32 collection and disposal services.  Any tonnage fee retained
  1 33 pursuant to this paragraph shall be taken from that portion of
  1 34 the tonnage fee which would have been allocated to funding
  1 35 alternatives to landfills pursuant to section 455E.11,
  2  1 subsection 2, paragraph "a", subparagraph (1).
  2  2                           EXPLANATION

  2  6 hazardous waste to a household hazardous waste collection site
  2  7 that is licensed as a reverse distributor by the board of
  2  8 pharmacy examiners and endorsed by the governor's office of
  2  9 drug control policy shall retain 49 cents per ton of the
  2 10 tonnage fee per ton of solid waste.  The bill provides that
