Plain-English Summary
This bill would allow coal ash—the leftover material from burning coal for electricity—to be reused in construction projects like roads, bridges, and concrete instead of being stored in landfills. The proposal aims to reduce waste and create a market for this material while potentially lowering construction costs, though environmental groups have raised concerns about whether coal ash is safe enough to use in infrastructure without stricter safety standards. The bill would primarily affect power plants, construction companies, and state environmental regulators who oversee how coal ash is managed.
