CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2021–2022 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill
No. 2795


Introduced by Assembly Member Eduardo Garcia

February 18, 2022


An act to amend Section 42005 of the Public Resources Code, relating to solid waste.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 2795, as introduced, Eduardo Garcia. Solid waste: postconsumer waste and recycled materials plans.
Existing law, the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, administered by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, establishes an integrated waste management program. The act requires the department to develop a comprehensive market development plan using existing resources that will stimulate market demand in the state for postconsumer waste material and secondary waste material generated in the state, and requires that the plan include specified goals. The act requires the plan to include efforts to encourage and promote cooperative, regional programs to expand markets for recycled materials. The act also requires the department to develop a plan, using existing resources, to provide assistance to local agencies when requested by a city, county, or regional agency, in the implementation of cost-effective programs that provide a quality supply of recycled materials for markets.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 42005 of the Public Resources Code is amended to read:

42005.
 (a) The board department shall develop a comprehensive market development plan using existing resources, that will stimulate market demand in the state for postconsumer waste material and secondary waste material generated in the state.
(b) The board’s department’s market development plan shall include, but shall not be limited to, achieving all of the following goals:
(1) Increasing market demand for postconsumer waste materials and secondary waste materials available due to California’s source reduction and recycling programs.
(2) Increasing demand for recycled content products, especially high quality, value-added products.
(3) Promoting efficient local waste diversion systems which yield high quality, industrially usable feedstocks.
(4) Promoting the competitive collection and use of secondary waste materials.
(c) The board’s department’s market development plan shall also include efforts to encourage and promote cooperative, regional programs to expand markets for recycled material. These programs shall include activities to address problems and opportunities that are unique to rural, urban, and suburban areas of the state.
(d) The board department shall develop a plan, using existing resources, to provide assistance to local agencies when requested by a city, county, or regional agency, in the implementation of cost-effective programs that provide a quality supply of recycled materials for markets.
