SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Vehicles used to transport municipal solid waste. Allows local governing bodies to adopt ordinances to regulate vehicles used to transport municipal solid waste by prohibiting their being parked at locations other than permitted solid waste management facilities and requiring leak-proof construction of their cargo compartments. The ordinances would also define "municipal solid waste," exempt trucks below specified gross vehicle weight ratings, and impose penalties no more stringent than those allowed for traffic infractions (fine up to $200).
