Digest
SB 1714 expands the authority of counties to provide solid waste disposal services in unincorporated areas. The bill allows counties meeting specific population thresholds to contract for solid waste collection within a municipal ETJ if the municipality does not already provide these services. Additionally, it updates outdoor refuse burning restrictions, making it a criminal offense to burn household trash in designated areas where counties have implemented mandatory waste disposal programs. These changes apply only to offenses committed on or after the bill’s effective date.
