HF 2346 – Defines steel slag to allow for use as a byproduct

HF 2397 – Provides liability protection to certain volunteers on state land

 

COMMITTEE ACTION: 

HF 2346 exempts steel slag from the definition of solid waste, which removes it from the regulatory requirements for diverting solid waste from a landfill. Steel slag is a byproduct of the manufacturing process and has a variety of beneficial uses that are already approved by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). By removing steel slag from the definition of solid waste, the product will by default be used in a beneficial manner. [3/12: short form]

 

HF 2397 directs the DNR to establish a state lands volunteer program to allow qualified non-profit organizations or individuals affiliated with those organizations to provide services at state areas for no compensation while being afforded the same liability protections that are already afforded to individuals who volunteer on state lands for no compensation.
