BILL ANALYSIS SB 928 Page 1 Date of Hearing: June 26, 2006 ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON NATURAL RESOURCES Loni Hancock, Chair SB 928 (Perata) - As Amended: June 27, 2006 SENATE VOTE : 25-14 SUBJECT : Public resources: solid waste. SUMMARY : Makes non-controversial clean-up changes to the Public Resources Code. EXISTING LAW : Under the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (Commencing with Public Resources Code Section 40000): 1) Requires each city or county source reduction and recycling element to include an implementation schedule that shows a city or county must divert 25% of solid waste from landfill disposal or transformation by January 1, 1995, and must divert 50% of solid waste on and after 2000. 2) Allows the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) to grant one or more time extensions to the 2000 50% diversion requirement under certain conditions as follows: a) For a newly incorporated city; and, b) Provides that the time extensions allowed newly incorporated cities are in addition to the general time extensions. 3) Provides a sunset on the time extension provisions of January 1, 2006. THIS BILL : Repeals the provision that allows the time extension for newly incorporated cities to be in addition to the general time extensions. FISCAL EFFECT : None. COMMENTS : The CIWMB may grant one or more time extensions to the 2000 50% diversion requirement if certain conditions are met. This extension provision sunsets January 1, 2006. Current SB 928 Page 2 law also allows the CIWMB to grant a time extension to diversion requirements for a newly incorporated city, which is in addition to the broader extension provision that sunsets January 1, 2006. SB 928 therefore strikes the provision allowing the newly incorporated city extension to be in addition to the broader extension. However, because the extension in law has now expired, the bill makes non-substantive change by repealing old code sections.
