Bill Summary · SB 147

Legislative bill overview

SB 147 revises Ohio's solid waste and construction/demolition (C&D) debris regulations, modifying how these materials are managed, processed, and disposed of across the state. The bill updates existing waste management frameworks to reflect current industry practices and environmental standards.

Why is this important

Solid waste and C&D debris management affects public health, environmental protection, landfill capacity, and recycling infrastructure across Ohio. These revisions impact waste haulers, construction companies, municipalities, and residents by potentially changing disposal requirements, costs, and available waste management options.

Potential points of contention

  • Regulatory burden vs. environmental protection: Changes may either reduce compliance costs for businesses or weaken environmental oversight, depending on specific provisions
  • Landfill capacity and siting: Modifications to C&D debris rules could affect which facilities accept materials and potentially shift disposal patterns across regions
  • Local vs. state authority: The bill may alter how municipalities regulate waste within their jurisdictions versus state-level mandates, affecting local control and enforcement
