Rep. Szabo’s Bill Passes Through The House

DENVER – The House gave final approval to a measure today that will give Coloradans a voice in what they pay for local waste management services. 

State Rep. Libby Szabo’s, R-Arvada, House Bill 1116 requires local governments to obtain voter approval prior to providing, contracting to provide, or requiring residents to pay fees for waste services. 

 “With this tough economy, Coloradans deserve a chance to decide how much we pay for our daily waste management services – especially when these services and fees are required by our local governments,” Szabo said. 

HB 1116 now makes its way to the State Senate for further consideration.
