LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 3036, Cooley. Solid waste: byproducts from the processing of food or beverages.
The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, administered by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, generally regulates the disposal, management, and recycling of solid waste. The act authorizes each county, city, district, or other local governmental agency to determine, among other things, whether solid waste handling services are provided for by means of a nonexclusive, partially exclusive, or wholly exclusive franchise, contract, license, permit, or otherwise.
This bill would prohibit a county, city , district, or local governmental agency from subjecting the hauling of certain byproducts from the processing of food or beverages to an exclusive franchise, contract, license, or permit.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO
