Bill Summary

An act to amend Section 14549.1 of the Public Resources Code, relating to beverage containers, and making an appropriation therefor.

AI Summary

This bill, amending the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act, allows the state's recycling department to use any remaining funds from quality incentive payments for glass beverage containers to make payments to additional entities, including manufacturers of fiberglass insulation in California that utilize "glass cullet," which is crushed recycled glass. Previously, these quality incentive payments, intended to improve the quality and marketability of recycled beverage containers, were primarily directed towards operators of curbside recycling programs or other certified entities for the manufacturing of new glass beverage containers. By authorizing these new uses for continuously appropriated funds, the bill constitutes an appropriation.
