Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 22a-228 and 22a-241a , respectively, any proposed revision to the state-wide solid waste management plan or the Comprehensive Materials Management Strategy shall be submitted by the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to the environment for approval prior to implementation of any such revision. Upon receipt of any such proposed revision, said committee shall hold a public hearing on any such proposed revision not later than fifteen days after such receipt.

Not later than thirty days after such receipt, said committee may meet to vote to approve, reject or amend such proposed revision.
