SENATOR ELLIS asked for a brief explanation of SB 371-WASTE PERMIT & COASTAL ZONE EXEMPTIONS. SENATOR THERRIAULT explained: This came from a proposed amendment to the [indisc.] office - the general permit bill. There's litigation currently that alleges that the state agencies are misinterpreting the solid waste disposal permit statutes. The court case asked the court to interpret the statutes to require a solid waste permit for the operations of a bombing or firing range so this [indisc.] basically just enshrines the current and past administrative interpretation of the solid waste permit. It clarifies that it's not needed on an active range - active bombing or firing range. SENATOR ELLIS asked if enacted, the bill will play into an ongoing court case. SENATOR THERRIAULT replied it would by enshrining the current and longstanding interpretation of our statutes. SENATOR ELLIS said he would prefer to let the case run its course before the legislature weighs in. CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS asked Senator Ellis if he would oppose calendaring the bill. SENATOR ELLIS said he would. CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS announced that SB 371 would be placed at the bottom of the calendar. SENATOR THERRIAULT moved to calendar SB 371-WASTE PERMIT & COASTAL ZONE EXEMPTIONS and its zero fiscal notes at the Chairman's discretion. SENATOR ELLIS objected. CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS announced that the motion carried with Senators Therriault, Cowdery and Phillips in favor and Senator Ellis opposed.
