	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1019, as amended, John A. Pérez. Solid waste: carpet
stewardship.
   Existing law requires the Department of General Services, to the
extent feasible and within existing resources, to take appropriate
steps to ensure that postconsumer carpet removed from state buildings
is managed in a manner that diverts the carpet from landfills and
recycles it into secondary products or manages it in a manner
consistent with the state's hierarchy for waste management practices.

   This bill would require the department to take those steps by
January 1, 2014.  The bill would define "state buildings" to
include buildings owned or leased by the state. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

in a manner consistent with the purpose of this chapter. 
   (b) For the purposes of this section, "state buildings" includes
