SUMMARY OF SENATE BILL 756 as introduced 11-8-95:

The bill would amend the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to delete a December 15, 1995, sunset on provisions that prohibit the Department of Natural Resources from issuing a permit for a municipal solid waste incinerator unless it is located at least 1,000 feet from any residential building, public or private elementary or secondary school, preschool facility for infants or children, hospital, and nursing home. This prohibition does not apply, however, to a municipal solid waste incinerator that existed prior to June 15, 1993, or to the modification, alteration, expansion, or retrofit of an incinerator after that date.
