   board  of  a  county or governing body of a municipality from entering      
   into or negotiating a host agreement with a developer  of  a  proposed      
   pollution  control  facility  before  the  board or governing body has      
   rendered a local siting decision  concerning  the  proposed  facility.      
   Effective immediately.

   requirement that any negotiations toward and terms of a host agreement      
   be disclosed in the record of local siting proceedings.

        Requires the county board or governing body of a municipality and      
   the siting applicant to jointly prepare a written summary of the terms      
   and conditions of an oral host agreement entered into before  a  final      
   local siting decision has been made.
