Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1430, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SOLID WASTE CONTROL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

No. 1430, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1430, H.D. 2.
