AI Summary

This bill, concerning hazardous waste facilities, mandates increased inspection frequencies by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to ensure compliance with environmental laws, particularly in disadvantaged communities. Specifically, it requires permitted hazardous waste land disposal facilities to be inspected at least once a month, other permitted and operating hazardous waste facilities to be inspected at least four times per calendar year, and any remaining permitted hazardous waste facilities to be inspected at least twice per calendar year, with the understanding that future legislation may be needed to fund additional staff if required for these inspections.
