a. The provisions of any other law to the contrary notwithstanding, no public authority, county or municipality shall issue any bonds or other obligations for the erection, construction, operation or maintenance of any solid waste facility after the effective date of this amendatory and supplementary act unless such erection, construction, operation, or maintenance shall have been approved by the commissioner pursuant to the provisions of section 17 of this amendatory and supplementary act; provided, however, that nothing in this act shall be construed as to limit or alter the rights vested by law in any public authority, county or municipality to fulfill the terms of any agreement made with the holders of any bonds or other obligations issued by the public authority prior to the effective date of this amendatory and supplementary act, or as to in any way impair the rights or remedies of the holders of such bonds.
b. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as to interfere with, or in any way modify, the provisions of any contract for solid waste collection or solid waste disposal in force in any solid waste management district upon the effective date of this act; provided, however, that no renewal of any such contract upon the expiration or termination of the original term thereof, and no new contract for solid waste collection or solid waste disposal, shall be entered into after the effective date of this act, unless such renewal or such new contract shall conform with the applicable provisions of the approved solid waste management plan of the relevant solid waste management district or unless such contract is approved by the commissioner.
In the event that no solid waste management plan has been approved for a solid waste management district, no contract renewal or new contract for solid waste collection or solid waste disposal shall be entered into for a period in excess of 1 year from the date of such contract renewal or new contract in such solid waste management district unless such a contract contains a provision for its renegotiation to bring it into conformance with an approved solid waste management plan for that solid waste management district upon the approval of said plan or unless such contract is approved by the commissioner.
