Senate Bill

No. 232

Introduced by Senator Dodd
(Coauthors: Senators Bates and Galgiani)

February 07, 2019

An act to amend Section 25214.13 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to hazardous substances.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 232, as amended, Dodd. Hazardous substances: regulated metals: packaging materials.

The Toxics in Packaging Prevention Act, as part of the hazardous waste control laws, prohibits a person from offering for sale or for promotional purposes in this state a package, packaging component, or product in a package if the sum of the incidental total concentration levels of all regulated metals, defined as lead, cadmium, mercury, or hexavalent chromium, present in a single-component package or in an individual packaging component exceeds 100 parts per million by weight.

This bill would exempt from that prohibition a glass package or packaging component that would not exceed that maximum regulated metal concentration level but for the addition of recycled glass materials, provided that the sum of the incidental total concentration levels of all regulated metals present in the glass package or packaging component does not exceed 200 parts per million by weight.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO

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