Program Overview:
The U.S. Supreme Court decision in the United Haulers flow control case was issued on April 30, 2007. The Court, in a 6-3 Opinion, held that two New York solid waste flow control laws did not violate the dormant commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution. The Court adopted a “public-private” distinction between disposal facilities which narrowed the scope of the Court’s ruling in C&A Carbone v. Town of Clarkstown, 511 U.S. 383 (1994).
The ruling is very important for solid waste companies, local governments, and others. A split between two federal appeals courts in 2006 on this important issue set the stage for the Supreme Court’s review of the upstate New York flow control laws. Hear from the two leading experts about the Court’s ruling and what it means.
