A JOINT RESOLUTION TO CONTINUE THE WORK OF THE LEGISLATIVE RESEARCH COMMISSION'S COMMITTEE ON SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT.
Whereas, the 1987 Session of the General Assembly authorized the Legislative Research Commission Section 2.1(37) of Chapter 873 of the 1987 Session Laws, to study the management of solid waste in North Carolina; and
Whereas, the Solid Waste Management Study Committee has determined that North Carolina faces a crisis in solid waste management in the immediate future; and
Whereas, much remains to be done to plan, develop, and implement a comprehensive solid waste management program in North Carolina; and
Whereas, the Legislative Research Commission's Committee on Solid Waste Management as begun under Section 2.1(37) of Chapter 873 of the 1987 Session Laws should be an ongoing study and should continue to examine the entire range of solid waste management issues;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
Section 1.  The Legislative Research Commission, as structured by Article 6B of Chapter 120 of the General Statutes, may continue the study of solid waste management issues in North Carolina and the means to finance and implement a comprehensive solid waste management program in North Carolina that will address the need to wisely manage solid waste so as not to jeopardize the quality of North Carolina's air and water or the health of its citizens.  This Committee shall ascertain whether the State is meeting its solid waste management goals, receive reports from counties, and determine whether the counties are achieving any solid waste management goals set for them by the General Assembly. 
Sec. 2.  The Commission shall report its findings and recommendations, including recommendations for needed legislation, to the 1991 General Assembly and may submit an interim report to the 1989 General Assembly (1990 Regular Session).
Sec. 3.  This resolution is effective upon ratification.
