	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Wieckowski

                        FEBRUARY 21, 2014

   An act to amend Section 14528.5 of the Public Resources Code,
relating to beverage containers.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2694, as introduced, Wieckowski. Beverage containers:
recycling.
   Existing law, the California Beverage Container Recycling and
Litter Reduction Act, requires a distributor to pay a redemption
payment for every beverage container sold or offered for sale in the
state to the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery for
deposit in the California Beverage Container Recycling Fund. The term
wine and distilled spirit cooler is defined for purposes of the
beverages subject to the act.
   This bill would make clarifying changes and delete an obsolete
provision in that definition.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 14528.5 of the Public Resources Code is amended
to read:
   14528.5.  "Wine and distilled spirit cooler" means a beverage
containing wine or distilled spirits  ,  to which is added
concentrated or unconcentrated juice or flavoring material  ,
 and  containing   which contains  not
more than 7 percent alcohol by volume. 
   This section shall become operative on January 1, 1990.
