Digest: (1) Existing law authorizes the Department of Toxic Substances Control to allow a household hazardous waste collection facility to accept hazardous waste in specified amounts from a conditionally exempt small quantity generator (CESQG). A violation of the hazardous waste control laws is a crime. This bill would additionally prohibit a household hazardous waste collection facility that is authorized by the department to accept hazardous waste from a CESQG from accepting more than 1000 kilograms of recyclable latex paint. The bill would also make a clarifying revision to the definition of CESQG. Since a violation of the bills prohibition would be a crime pursuant to other provisions of the hazardous waste control law, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. »Less
