AN ACT to expand the Mandatory Recycling Facilities Act of 2008. §1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be referred to as the Expansion of the MRFA (2009). §2. PROVISIONS. Upon approval, this legislation shall amend the Mandatory Recycling Facilities Act of 2008, adding the following factors: 4. Council-ran recycling facilities shall have additional bays available to handle appliances, electronics, furniture and other items with potential recycle value in order to curtail the practice of "fly-dumping". These facilities will safely strip these components down and recycle what they can and hand over what cannot be recycled to be properly disposed of or reused if possible. §3. ADDITIONAL COST. This bill does not anticipate any additional cost to fund the new provisions of the MRFA. States are responsible for additional costs, which are likely to be minimal due to the reduction of costs in cleaning up illicit waste sites. EDIT: This edition of the bill is hereby invalid. All loose copies of this version of the bill has been allocated to the House of Commons bathrooms due to surprising lack of toilet paper. |

Sounds fine, and ties in nicely with your other bill. But we are enforcing that the council puts in these bays? Does the Federal Government pay for this, or the local councils? We'll be unpopular with the Local Governments if we enact costs onto them. |

If the government were to finance the additional bays, how much would it take? A permanent unit or a one-off? If it's one-off, I would be willing to revise this. |

Due to the shortage of toilet paper in the Commons restrooms, I hereby shipped all old copies of this bill laying around to the restrooms to serve as a (hopefully acceptable) subsitute. Here is the new bill: I, the Right Honourable Kay "DynamoJax" Jackson, the MP for the Uplands of Enchiridion and Twentieth Prime Minister of Ostentia, do hereby introduce to the Ostentian House of Commons thereof: [start bill text] AN ACT to expand the Mandatory Recycling Facilities Act of 2008. §1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be referred to as the Expansion of the MRFA (2009). §2. PROVISIONS. Upon approval, this legislation shall amend the Mandatory Recycling Facilities Act of 2008, adding the following factors: 4. Council-ran recycling facilities shall have additional bays available to handle appliances, electronics, furniture and other items with potential recycle value in order to curtail the practice of "fly-dumping". These facilities will safely strip these components down and recycle what they can and hand over what cannot be recycled to be properly disposed of or reused if possible. §3. ADDITIONAL COST. This bill request the expenditure of a single budgetary unit in a one-off manner to be allocated using the surplus unit in Environment. This expenditure is necessary to install and retrofit the new bays in all recycling centers to handle these new goods. Upon the next term, the bays shall be payed for, and all operational cost continues to be funded by normal funding. [/end text] If no objections, we'll move this for passage. |
