Committee adopts amendment to foundry-sand bill; SB12 moved to April 4
Summary
The committee adopted an amendment to HB/HP176 reclassifying foundry sand to allow beneficial reuse and gave the bill a favorable report as amended; SB12 was presented and ordered to proceed with a future date.
Representative Robbins presented HP176 to treat spent foundry sand separately from other foundry waste so it can be reused for fill and road base instead of landfill disposal. Representative Robertson offered an amendment that clarified permitted uses and provided a working definition of "foundry sand"; the amendment was adopted and the bill received a favorable report as amended.
Earlier, Senator Dun presented SB12, described as a one-page bill; committee members moved, seconded and the chair announced SB12 "proceeded with April 4th." Both items were handled without extended debate on the floor that day.
The committee proceeded to a public hearing on House Bill 61 later in the meeting; no vote on that measure was taken on the public hearing day.
