Summary — HB 1836 (2025) — Appropriation: City of Tupelo (property acquisition to expand Class II rubbish site)

Status: Died in committee (bill did not become law)

Introduced: January 14, 2025
Primary sponsors (as provided): K. Hammer; Lundstrum (other sponsor data in the source appears to be mixed/duplicative across jurisdictions)

Note on source material: The provided file contains multiple, conflicting legislative texts and procedural histories from different states (including unrelated Arkansas and Illinois bill texts). This summary focuses on the bill title and purpose shown at the top of the source (an appropriation for the City of Tupelo). The official bill text and dollar amount were not included in the material supplied; the file otherwise contains unrelated provisions (e.g., Arkansas public‑meeting video requirements and an Illinois “Clean Slate”/criminal law package).

Purpose and intent
- Authorize a state appropriation to the City of Tupelo to acquire real property needed to expand the city’s Class II rubbish site.
- Intended policy goals (typical for this type of measure): increase landfill/rubbish capacity, allow continued municipal solid waste disposal services, and secure land for operational or regulatory requirements.

Key provisions (based on title/summary only)
- An appropriation (funding amount not provided in the supplied documents) payable to the City of Tupelo.
- Limited to acquiring property for expansion or relocation of the city’s Class II rubbish site.
- No specific statutory or regulatory changes are included in the available materials; details on purchase terms, environmental review, project timing, or ongoing operating funding were not provided.

Who would be affected
- City of Tupelo: would receive funds (if enacted) to acquire land and expand municipal waste handling capacity.
- Local residents and neighboring landowners: potentially affected by new landfill boundaries, traffic, noise, or other local impacts from expansion.
- County/city planning and environmental regulators: likely responsible for permitting, environmental review, and monitoring associated with landfill expansion.
- Waste haulers and regional waste management systems: may see changes in routing or capacity.

Procedural history / timeline (as provided)
- Filed: January 14, 2025.
- Referred to committee (Appropriations A).
- The provided action log shows the bill was left pending in committee and ultimately listed as “Died In Committee.” The source also contains conflicting entries (including a later “withdrawn by author” notation); because the source mixes records from multiple states, interested parties should consult the official legislative clerk or website for the authoritative chronology.

Outstanding information / recommended next steps
- The official bill text and the appropriation amount were not supplied. To fully assess impacts, obtain the enacted language (or the exact introduced bill text), the dollar amount requested, conditions on use of funds, and any environmental or eminent‑domain provisions.
- Confirm the authoritative procedural history from the jurisdiction’s legislative website or clerk (to resolve conflicting dates/entries present in the provided source).
