  • a.  The  commissioner shall
      annually review the recycling program  and  all  rules  and  regulations

      materials recycled pursuant to this chapter. These revisions may include
      designating  additional recyclable materials. The commissioner shall not

      materials collected, processed, marketed and sold does not decrease.
        b. By the end of the fifth year following the enactment date  of  this
      chapter,  the  commissioner  shall  designate  two additional recyclable
      materials contained in residential or commercial solid waste and provide
      for the recycling of these materials in accordance with  the  provisions
      of this chapter.
