House Bill 88 clears up appointment and term‑limit procedures for local waste management boards
Summary
Rep. Emily Callaway introduced House Bill 88 to clarify statutory procedures for appointments and term limits on local waste management boards (referred to in the hearing as the '109 board'). The committee gave the bill a favorable expression and moved it to the floor.
Representative Emily Callaway, sponsor of House Bill 88, told the Committee on Natural Resources and Energy that the measure was meant to resolve confusion about appointments and term limits for local waste management boards.
"We have specific statute ... that directs our waste management boards about procedures and, term limits and appointments," Callaway said, describing that members were sometimes remaining on boards after their terms had expired and that application information was hard to find on local websites.
Callaway, who identified herself as representing portions of Jefferson and Bullitt counties, said the bill is brief and intended to ensure consolidated governments actively recruit and appoint community members to those boards.
The committee adopted the measure and the clerk called the roll. The bill "passes with a favorable expression," the chair said, and members were instructed that the same result should be pursued on the floor.
No additional amendments or substantive debate were recorded in committee testimony. A request to record a vote on the measure was made during the meeting and entered into the committee record.
The committee chair closed the item and moved on to the next agenda item.
