No large-scale solid waste facility may be sited, constructed, or operated in this state unless the Legislature enacts a bill approving the siting, construction, or operation of the facility pursuant to a solid waste permit or permit renewals, issued by the Board of Minerals and Environment. The Legislature must find that the facility is environmentally safe and in the public interest. The requirements of this section do not apply to the land application for irrigation purposes of solid waste generated from a livestock processing facility if the application is done in accordance with a solid waste permit or permit renewal issued by the board.
