following amendment:
Amend
SB 154 (LC 38 0277ER) by striking from line 12 on page 2 through line 6 on page
3 and inserting in their place the following:
(1)
At least 30 days prior to the date of adoption of a resolution by a municipal
corporation or other act by a governing entity communicating the municipal
corporation´s or governing entity´s intent to displace the firm, the
firm is providing solid waste collection services pursuant to an agreement or
contract with the municipality or government entity responsible for providing
solid waste collection services in the displacement territory;
(2)
On the date of a referendum, the effective date of the local Act, or effective
date of any other displacement action, the firm is providing solid waste
collection services in the displacement territory; and
(3)
As a result of annexation, incorporation, or some other displacement action, the
firm´s franchise or contract with a county for solid waste collection will
terminate services in the displacement territory.
(c)
The municipal corporation or government entity displacing the firm may proceed
with other measures to provide collection services for solid waste collection or
recovered materials, or both, provided, however, that the municipal corporation
or government entity allows the firm to continue to provide solid waste
collection services in a displacement area for a period of 30 months, or a
period equal to the term remaining on the firm´s original contract with the
municipality or government entity to provide solid waste collection services in
the displacement territory, whichever is less. Nothing in this subsection shall
impede the municipal corporation or other government entity displacing the firm
and the firm from negotiating a settlement satisfactory to both parties."
