A. A solid waste assessment fee shall be imposed upon the disposal of solid waste by a commercial hauler at any solid waste facility if the solid waste was generated outside the solid waste district in which the solid waste facility is located. A commercial hauler disposing solid waste from twin-plant industries having domestic operations within a solid waste district shall be exempt from payment of the solid waste assessment fee on the disposed solid waste if the industries involved are required under Mexican law to have the solid waste returned to the United States. B. The board shall establish the solid waste assessment fee. The fee established by the board shall remain in effect until July 1, 1993. The division shall prepare a recommended permanent fee structure and present it to the first regular session of the forty-first legislature for its consideration. In establishing the fee, the board shall take into account all factors relevant to the cost of disposal of the solid waste, including the following: (1) the impact of solid waste disposal on air, water, land and other resources; (2) the effect of solid waste disposal on the value of public and private property; (3) the costs of protection of the public health, safety, welfare and the environment associated with the disposal of solid waste in the solid waste district; (4) the costs of out-of-district inspection and monitoring; (5) the costs and risks of solid waste transportation; and (6) the administrative costs incurred by the collecting governmental entity. C. The fee imposed by this section shall be in addition to all other fees and taxes levied by law and shall be added to and constitute part of any other fee charged by the operator or owner of the solid waste disposal facility. D. The fee imposed by this section shall be paid by the commercial hauler disposing of solid waste at a solid waste facility and shall be collected by the operator of the solid waste facility, held in trust in a separate account for the benefit of the state and remitted to the taxation and revenue department. Operators collecting fees under this section may retain ten percent of the fee collected for administrative purposes. The fee accrues at the time the solid waste is disposed of in a solid waste facility. The fee imposed by this section shall be administered as if it was a tax, in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Administration Act [Chapter 7, Article 1 NMSA 1978], and shall be remitted within thirty days from the end of the month in which the fee is collected. E. A commercial hauler shall not be required to pay the solid waste assessment fee for disposal in a solid waste facility of solid waste generated outside the district in which the solid waste facility is located if: (1) the solid waste was generated in a commercial, industrial, transportation and population center in which the commercial hauler provided solid waste disposal service during the 1989 calendar year; and (2) the solid waste is disposed of in a solid waste district in which the commercial hauler disposed of solid waste generated in that commercial, industrial, transportation and population center during the 1989 calendar year. F. A distribution under the Tax Administration Act of the net proceeds of the fees collected pursuant to this section shall be made to the solid waste facility grant fund.
