	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1419, as amended, Eggman. Recycling centers.
   Existing law, the California Beverage Container Recycling and
Litter Reduction Act, provides for the Department of Resources
Recycling and Recovery to certify operators of recycling centers.
Existing law requires certified recycling centers, when accepting an
empty beverage container from a consumer, to pay the refund value.
   This bill would authorize the department to revoke a certification
of a certified recycling center found to be abandoned, as specified.
The bill would provide an opportunity for a hearing on that
revocation to be conducted in the same manner as a hearing for an
applicant whose original application for certification is denied.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section  14541.1   14591.25 
is added to the Public Resources Code, to read:
    14541.1.   14591.25.   (a) The
department may revoke a certification of a certified recycling center
found to be abandoned if both of the following circumstances apply:
   (1) The recycling center is not open during its posted hours on

   (2) The recycling center has no reportable volumes for a period of
30 consecutive days.
   (b) Subsequent to the revocation, the former certificate holder
may request a hearing which, notwithstanding Section 11445.20 of the
Government Code, shall be conducted in the same manner as a hearing
for an applicant whose original application for certification is
denied.
