          *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                     adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016


          Bill  
          Summary:  AB 2812 requires Department of Resources Recycling and  
          Recovery (CalRecycle), on or before July 1, 2017, to develop  
          guidelines for adequate receptacles and staffing for collecting  
          and recycling recyclable materials in state office buildings.   
          The bill also requires state agencies, on or after July 1, 2018,  
          to provide and maintain recycling receptacles in state buildings  
          and large facilities based on standards adopted by CalRecycle.  
          
          Fiscal  
          Impact:  

          1)Unknown, potentially significant state costs (General Funds,  
            various special funds) to provide receptacles, staff, and  
            establish a collection schedule at each state agency and

            facility.

          2)Unknown, likely minor, state costs to develop and provide  
            guidance, and incorporate the new requirement into the  
            existing report to CalRecycle.


          Author  
          Amendments:  Clarify that CalRecyle must provide guidance, not  
          guidelines, and make other clarifying changes.
