Following the Governor’s veto of the Omnibus Environment & Agriculture bill passed during regular session, the Legislature debated a revised bill. A motion was made in the House to insert two provisions that would weaken environmental protection in Minnesota: 1) a provision to eliminate the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens’ Board, and 2) a provision exempting sulfide mines from solid waste disposal rules.
What Would Happen?
A “Yes” vote means the Citizen’s Board is eliminated and sulfide mines are exempted from solid waste disposal rules.
A “No” vote means the Citizen’s Board is preserved and sulfide mines are not exempted from solid waste rules.
How The House Voted
A “Yes” vote means the Citizen’s Board is eliminated and sulfide mines are exempted from solid waste disposal rules.
