Two state legislators in Kentucky are considering introducing a statewide bill that would allow local governments to appeal for noncompliance with a decision by their waste district board.
A ban on using plastic bags to dispose of yard waste is at the heart of the dispute, according to an online article by the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The two legislators have co-authored the bill to prevent unelected waste boards from “creating legislation,” according to proponents of the bill.
Officials from the Louisville Metro Waste Management District, however, say their ban has widespread public support and is necessary to create a quality compost product from yard trimmings.
