218F.310  Recycling of paper, paper products and other waste materials.

      1.  Except as otherwise provided in this section, the Legislative Counsel Bureau shall recycle or cause to be recycled the paper and paper products it uses. This subsection does not apply to confidential documents if there is an additional cost for recycling those documents.

      2.  The Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau may apply to the Legislative Commission for a waiver from the requirements of subsection 1. The Legislative Commission shall grant a waiver if it determines that the cost to recycle or cause to be recycled the paper and paper products used by the Bureau is unreasonable and would place an undue burden on the operations of the Bureau.

      3.  The Legislative Commission shall, after consulting with the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, adopt regulations which prescribe the procedure for the disposition of the paper and paper products to be recycled. The Legislative Commission may prescribe a procedure for the recycling of other waste materials produced on the premises of the Legislative Building.

      4.  Any money received by the Legislative Counsel Bureau for recycling or causing to be recycled the paper and paper products it uses must be paid by the Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau to the State Treasurer for credit to the State General Fund.
