          SUMMARY  :  Makes non-controversial clean-up changes to the Public  
          Resources Code.  Specifically,  this bill  repeals the provision  
          that allows the time extension for newly incorporated cities to  
          be in addition to the general time extensions.

           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.

                                                                  Page 2



           FISCAL EFFECT  :  None

           COMMENTS  :  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 law  
          also allows 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.  
           This bill 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.
