 1116  812.081, is confidential and exempt from s. 119.07(1) and s.
 1117  24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution. For reporting or

 1125         (3) Except as otherwise provided in this section or
 1126  pursuant to a special act in effect on or before January 1,
 1127  1993, a local government may not require a commercial
 1128  establishment that generates source-separated recovered
 1129  materials to sell or otherwise convey its recovered materials to
 1130  the local government or to a facility designated by the local
 1131  government, nor may the local government restrict such a
 1132  generator’s right to sell or otherwise convey such recovered
 1133  materials to any properly certified recovered materials dealer
 1134  who has satisfied the requirements of this section. A local
 1135  government may not enact any ordinance that prevents such a
 1136  dealer from entering into a contract with a commercial
 1137  establishment to purchase, collect, transport, process, or
 1138  receive source-separated recovered materials.
 1139         (b)1. Before engaging in business within the jurisdiction
 1140  of the local government, a recovered materials dealer or
 1141  pyrolysis facility must provide the local government with a copy
 1142  of the certification provided for in this section. In addition,
 1143  the local government may establish a registration process
 1144  whereby a recovered materials dealer or pyrolysis facility must
 1145  register with the local government before engaging in business
 1146  within the jurisdiction of the local government. Such
 1147  registration process is limited to requiring the dealer or
 1148  pyrolysis facility to register its name, including the owner or
 1149  operator of the dealer or pyrolysis facility, and, if the dealer
 1150  or pyrolysis facility is a business entity, its general or
 1151  limited partners, its corporate officers and directors, its
 1152  permanent place of business, evidence of its certification under
 1153  this section, and a certification that the recovered materials
 1154  or post-use polymers will be processed at a recovered materials
 1155  processing facility or pyrolysis facility satisfying the
 1156  requirements of this section. The local government may not use
 1157  the information provided in the registration application to
 1158  compete unfairly with the recovered materials dealer until 90
 1159  days after receipt of the application. All counties, and
 1160  municipalities whose population exceeds 35,000 according to the
 1161  population estimates determined pursuant to s. 186.901, may
 1162  establish a reporting process that must be limited to the
 1163  regulations, reporting format, and reporting frequency
 1164  established by the department pursuant to this section, which
 1165  must, at a minimum, include requiring the dealer or pyrolysis
 1166  facility to identify the types and approximate amount of
 1167  recovered materials or post-use polymers collected, recycled, or
 1168  reused during the reporting period; the approximate percentage
 1169  of recovered materials or post-use polymers reused, stored, or
 1170  delivered to a recovered materials processing facility or
 1171  pyrolysis facility or disposed of in a solid waste disposal
 1172  facility; and the locations where any recovered materials or
 1173  post-use polymers were disposed of as solid waste. The local
 1174  government may charge the dealer or pyrolysis facility a
 1175  registration fee commensurate with and no greater than the cost
 1176  incurred by the local government in operating its registration
 1177  program. Registration program costs are limited to those costs
 1178  associated with the activities described in this paragraph
 1179  subparagraph. Any reporting or registration process established
 1180  by a local government with regard to recovered materials or
 1181  post-use polymers is governed by this section and department
 1182  rules adopted pursuant thereto.
