AI Summary
This bill aims to restore the Clean Environment Fund using revenue from unclaimed bottle deposits. The key provisions include: (1) amending the existing law to direct unclaimed bottle deposits to the Clean Environment Fund instead of the original "section 323F"; (2) establishing the Clean Environment Fund, where at least 40% of the funds will be used for recycling, composting, and solid waste reduction projects, at least 20% for other recycling and solid waste projects, and no more than 40% for other environmental programs related to the "bottle bill"; and (3) further updating the law to reflect the new "section 323G" for the Clean Environment Fund. The bill is intended to support environmental protection and climate change mitigation efforts through the management of solid waste and recycling programs.
