HB24 Alabama 2016 Session

Existing law provides that all funds collected from the solid waste program are required to be used for the administration of the solid waste program

This bill would authorize enactment of local laws providing for the use of the funds by the local governing body for administrative service related to the program, for buildings and roads or bridges used for solid waste services, and for certain other services provided through the solid waste program

Existing law also provides for the collection of delinquent fees for solid waste services by the suspension of service and by civil action

This bill would further authorize local governing bodies to use provisions for collection through income tax refund set-offs

To amend Section 22-27-5, Code of Alabama 1975, relating to local solid waste programs; to further provide for the use of fees, charges, and rates collected in the operation and administration of the programs pursuant to local laws; and to further provide for the collection of delinquent fees and charges for services.
