HB637
Regards use of recycled asphalt roofing shingles for construction
Current Status: Introduced In House
Summary
The bill allows the use of recycled asphalt roofing shingles for construction projects, provided that the shingles do not contain asbestos. The Director of Environmental Protection is tasked with adopting rules for the administration and enforcement of this section, including testing of the shingles.
Rationale
The bill promotes the use of recycled materials, which aligns with free market principles, but it also introduces government regulation through the requirement for testing and rule adoption, which may conflict with the Libertarian emphasis on minimal government intervention.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for increased government regulation
- Costs associated with compliance for contractors
- Possible delays in construction projects due to testing requirements
