A. Any waste management authority, district, or organization created by law prior to January 1, 1993, which is authorized to convert solid waste to energy may make and enter into contracts with the federal or any state government or with any political subdivision or person within the state of Louisiana providing for or relating to the acquisition, construction, management, operation, and maintenance of any project in this state or the furnishing of services by or to any project in this state or in connection with the services of any project in this state owned, operated, or controlled by the other contracting party. Such contracts may provide for the payment by the other contracting party to the authority of a fee dependent on the amount of waste recycled, composted, collected, processed, or disposed.
B. Any waste management authority created by law prior to January 1, 1993, shall not engage in any project involving the conversion of waste to fuel, steam, electricity, or energy through burning or any type of incineration, until the lapse of three years from the establishment of the authority. However, within this time frame, the authority may establish a plan to acquire, construct, operate, finance, or otherwise provide for projects that are comprised of waste reduction, reuse, recycling, composting, compacting, or land disposal technologies. If such a plan for projects is established, an additional two years shall be allowed for its implementation before the authority shall engage in any project involving incineration or conversion of waste to fuel, steam, electricity, or energy, or through burning or any type of incineration.
C. Any local or parish government which enters into an agreement to join any waste management authority, district, or organization created by law prior to January 1, 1993, which is authorized to convert solid waste to energy or to incinerate waste must do so by ordinance, duly advertised, and with a public hearing. To borrow money, incur debt, or to issue bonds, a waste management authority must have consent and approval of the State Bond Commission in accordance with provisions of R.S. 39:1410.60 et seq. and any such other local approving agency as required by law.
