relating to solid waste.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2396, McCarty. Solid waste: annual reports.
   The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, which is
administered by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery,
establishes an integrated waste management program. Existing law
requires each state agency to submit an annual report to the
department summarizing its progress in reducing solid waste that is
due on or before May 1 of each year.
   This bill would require each state agency to include in that
annual report a summary of the state agency's compliance with
specified requirements relating to recycling commercial solid waste
and organic waste.
   This bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 42926 of
the Public Resources Code proposed by AB 2812 that would become
operative only if AB 2812 and this bill are both chaptered and become
effective on or before January 1, 2017, and this bill is chaptered
last.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 42926 of the Public Resources Code is amended
to read:

each state agency shall submit an annual report to the department
summarizing its progress in reducing solid waste as required by
Section 42921. The annual report shall be due on or before May 1,
2012, and on or before May 1 in each subsequent year. The information
in this report shall encompass the previous calendar year.
   (b) Each state agency's annual report to the department shall, at
a minimum, include all of the following:
   (1) Calculations of annual disposal reduction.
   (2) Information on the changes in waste generated or disposed of
due to increases or decreases in employees, economics, or other
factors.
   (3) A summary of progress made in implementing the integrated
waste management plan.
   (4) The extent to which the state agency intends to utilize
programs or facilities established by the local agency for the

(commencing with Section 42649) and Chapter 12.9 (commencing with

   (c) The department shall use, but is not limited to the use of,
the annual report in the determination of whether the agency's

bill amends Section 42926 of the Public Resources Code, and (3) this
bill is enacted after AB 2812, in which case Section 1 of this bill
shall not become operative.
