	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 730, as introduced, Wiggins. Solid waste: grants and loans:
eligibility.
   Existing law authorizes the Integrated Waste Management Board to
issue grants and loans to local governments for various purposes
including, among other things, expansion of recycling efforts,
household hazardous waste, and local enforcement of solid waste
regulations.
   This bill would provide that a public entity of the state is
ineligible for any grants, loans, or loan guarantees from, or any
other financial incentive administered by, the board, if the entity
disposes or causes the disposal of solid waste at a facility within
the state that does not meet standards that are as stringent as the
state standards or at a facility located outside the state.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

division or regulations issued pursuant to this division or at a
facility located outside of the state.
   (b) This section does not apply to a public entity that entered
