   AB 2110, as introduced, Dahle. Beverage containers: redemption
payments.
   Existing law, the California Beverage Container Recycling and

sold or offered for sale in the state to the Department of Resources
Recycling and Recovery, for deposit in the California Beverage
Container Recycling Fund.
   This bill would nonsubstantively recast that provision.
