AI Generated Summary

This Minnesota Senate bill (S.F. No. 2437) proposes an amendment to the definition of "residential generator" under Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 297H.01, subdivision 8, which relates to solid waste management and taxation.

The bill expands the definition of "residential generator" to include: 1. Detached single-family residences generating municipal solid waste. 2. Residents in multi-unit buildings (such as apartment buildings, common interest communities, or manufactured home parks) where each unit is individually billed for waste services. 3. Owners or associations managing multi-unit residences (such as apartments, condominiums, manufactured home parks, or townhomes) where no individual resident is separately billed, and the owner or association is billed directly for waste services. 4. New addition: Nonprofit organizations (501(c)(3) entities) that receive donations for resale and salvage from any of the above-listed residential generators.

The bill also clarifies that a "residential generator" does not include self-haulers (individuals or entities that transport their own waste).

This amendment aims to refine the classification of residential waste generators for taxation and waste management purposes.
