Overview

HF 1352 is a Minnesota bill focused on solid waste management, specifically by modifying the definition of “residential generator.” The bill is classified under Nonprofit and Charitable Organizations, Taxation, and Waste and Waste Management. It is currently in the introductory stage and has been assigned to the Taxes committee.

Purpose and intent

  • The primary change indicated by the bill title is a modification to the statutory definition of “residential generator” within solid waste management provisions.
  • The provided materials do not include the exact definitional language or the intended practical effects (e.g., eligibility, fee applicability, reporting, or compliance changes). The core intent appears to be refining which entities or individuals are covered by certain solid waste management provisions or related tax/fee rules.

Key provisions (not specified in available text)

  • Exact changes to the definition of “residential generator” are not provided in the materials you shared.
  • Consequently, specific provisions, implementing mechanisms, costs, deadlines, or enforcement details are not detailed here. The bill’s substantive text would clarify whether this redefinition affects:

    • Exemptions or eligibility for programs
    • Reporting or compliance requirements for entities categorized as residential generators
    • Impacts on nonprofit/charitable organizations within waste management programs
  • The bill’s interaction with taxation and nonprofit/charitable organization provisions will depend on the final statutory language.

Affected entities and potential impact

  • Nonprofit and charitable organizations (potentially affected through taxation and waste management program definitions)
  • Waste management providers, haulers, and local governments implementing solid waste rules
