Resolution Analysis
Overview
This proposal aims to mitigate the environmental and public health hazards of solid waste landfills by regulating their placement, operation, and post-closure maintenance, in addition to mandating regular testing of at-risk groundwater and providing for their inspection.

Recommendation
A fairly niche proposal, "Landfill Regulation Act" nevertheless effectively accomplishes what it sets out to do and tackles a subject area relevant to the environment and public health. The legislation strikes a reasonable balance in its mandates: it tackles environmentally safe landfill operation from a variety of angles including physical barriers, leachate collection, groundwater testing, and inspection, without crossing the line into being overly micromanaging.

For these reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends voting For the at-vote General Assembly proposal, "Landfill Regulation Act".
