SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 3
(By Senators Kimble and Buckalew)
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to make
a study of the feasibility of implementing mandatory trash
service and bulky goods collection for all West Virginians.
Whereas, West Virginia is a state of great scenic mountain
beauty, with a growing tourism industry which is dependent on
that scenic beauty; and
Whereas, This great scenic beauty is too often marred by
open dumping and roadside litter, particularly in our state's
rural areas; and
Whereas, A statewide program mandating universal trash
service and bulky goods collection for all West Virginians would
greatly reduce this problem of open dumping and roadside litter;
therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to review, examine and study, and make recommendations
regarding the feasibility of implementing mandatory trash service
and bulky goods collection for all West Virginians; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 1999,
on its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with
drafts of any legislation necessary to effectuate its
recommendations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct
this study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary
legislation be paid from legislative appropriations to the Jjoint
Ccommittee on Ggovernment and Ffinance.
