AI Summary

This bill reforms the Toxic Use Reduction Act by making several changes to the existing law. It reduces the frequency of toxics use reduction plan preparation from every 2 years to every 6 years, or when a new toxic substance is first used at a facility. It also extends the certification period for toxics use reduction planners from 2 years to 6 years, and adjusts the continuing education requirements for initial and subsequent recertification. Additionally, the bill exempts certain uses of toxic substances that are mandated by law, regulation, or governmental authorities from having to pay associated fees.
