                       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.
