of used oil from a generator whose identification (ID)

if certain requirements are met.

3.Makes a technical cleanup change regarding disabled

Comments
This bill allows, on a one-time basis, for a used oil
transporter to receive a load of used oil from a generator
whose ID number has been suspended due to non-submittal of
their annual ID number fees.
This bill addresses the issues raised by the inability of a
used oil transporter to pick up a load of used oil from
generators who did not return their annual ID number

verification and related forms and fees. Often these are
small generators who infrequently generate used oil and
have not acknowledged the need to keep their ID number up
to date. This bill allows for a one-time pick up with both
the generator and the transporter reporting the pick up to
DTSC.
