           SUBJECT  :    Public resources:  solid waste

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This bill makes non-controversial clean-up  
          changes to the Public Resources Code.

           Assembly Amendments  delete a provision that required an  
                                                           CONTINUED

          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.
