Assembly Amendments delete a provision that required an CONTINUED SB 928 Page 2 unspecified percentage of solid waste to be diverted on and after January 1, 2011. ANALYSIS : Existing law, under the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989: 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 percent of solid waste from landfill disposal or transformation by January 1, 1995, and must divert 50 percent 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 percent diversion requirement under certain conditions. These provisions sunset January 1, 2006. 3.Allows the CIWMB to grant a time extension to the above diversion requirements for a newly incorporated city. 4.Provides that the time extensions allowed under #3 above are in addition to the time extensions allowed under #2 above. This bill repeals the provision that allows the time extension for newly incorporated cities to be in addition to the general time extensions. Comments CIWMB may grant one or more time extensions to the 2000 50 percent 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.
