	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Hill

                        FEBRUARY 20, 2014

   An act to repeal and add Section 25143.6 of the Health and Safety
Code, relating to hazardous waste.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1249, as introduced, Hill. Hazardous waste: shredder waste.
    (1) Existing law requires hazardous waste to be managed in
accordance with the hazardous waste control laws and authorizes the
Department of Toxic Substances Control to grant a variance from those
requirements, pursuant to a specified procedure. The hazardous waste
control laws also require specified California regional water
quality control boards to prepare, by February 15, 1988, a list of
class III landfills authorized to accept and dispose of shredder
waste. A violation of the hazardous waste control laws, including a
regulation adopted pursuant to those laws, is a crime.
   This bill would repeal the provision requiring the regional boards
to prepare that list and would instead require the department,
notwithstanding that variance procedure, to adopt regulations to
require shredder waste that is derived from automobiles, as
specified, to be managed in accordance with the hazardous waste
control laws. Since a violation of those regulations would be a
crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
   (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 25143.6 of the Health and Safety Code is
repealed. 
   25143.6.  On or before February 15, 1988, the following California
regional water quality control boards shall prepare a list of class
III landfills, as specified in Section 2533 of Title 23 of the
California Administrative Code, including at least one landfill in
each specified water quality control region which is authorized to
accept and dispose of shredder waste in accordance with State Water
Resources Control Board Resolution No. 87-22: San Francisco Bay
Region, Central Valley Region, Los Angeles Region, Santa Ana Region,
and San Diego Region. 
  SEC. 2.  Section 25143.6 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to
read:
   25143.6.  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter,
including Section 25143, the department shall adopt regulations that
require shredder waste that is derived from automobiles to be
managed in accordance with this chapter.
   (b) For purposes of this section, shredder waste that is derived
from automobiles includes, but is not limited to, the glass, fiber,
rubber, automobile liquids, plastics, wood products, cloth, paper,
foam, dirt, and electrical wiring that remain after an automobile is
shredded and all metals have been removed.
  SEC. 3.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because
the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school
district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or
infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty
for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the
Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the
meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California
Constitution.
