TO THE COMMITTEE FOR QUESTIONS
COMMENTS -- MISTER CHAIRMAN
THIS CENTER NEWMAN I'VE THE
BY ADDING THE EMBEDDED OF
BATTERIES TO THE REGULAR E.
WASTE SOME OF PROGRAMS THAT
WE HAVE WITHIN THE MEMBER THAT
WAS TAKEN AND IN THE ASSEMBLY
BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER
THAT BEING MY STATEMENT
OKAY I NOTED THAT FIFTY SIX
SO TAKING THE ORIGINAL THE
ORIGINAL CONCEPT THANK YOU
OKAY THAT WAS AMENDED OKAY
ASSEMBLY MEMBER OWNERS ARE
COMPANION BILLS THAT WAS WHY
WE DID IT RIGHT OKAY FORGET
THAT JUST THANK YOU FOR THE
CLARIFICATION ASSEMBLY IT'S A
JUST A COUPLE OF CONCERNS --
SENATE NEWMAN WAS THERE ANY
DISCUSSION ABOUT A FEELING
OF SORTS ON IT WITH THE FEW
COULD BE UP TO OUR GIVING
CARTE BLANC TO CAL RECYCLE THE
DETERMINE OUT WHEN I LOOK AT
THE COSTS THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT IT SOME OF THE FRONT
OF THE STATE BECAUSE THIS TWO
AND A HALF MILLION PER YEAR
TO REACH -- CAL RECYCLE OF I
GUESS MY CONCERN IS SIMPLY THAT
WE WOULDN'T BE USING THE FEE
THAT'S KIND OF CARTE BLANC HERE
TO COVER OTHER THINGS THAT ARE
PROBLEMATIC WITH CAL RECYCLE
AT THE MOMENT SO IT WAS THERE
ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT AMONG
WHEN THE WHOLE FEE ISSUE CAME
UP -- SWITCHING IT TO CONSUMERS
YEAH YOU YOU HAVE SATURDAY
I MEAN THERE WAS EXTENSIVE
DISCUSSION AND I THINK IF YOU
WOULDN'T MIND A AND THAT WAS
THAT WE HAD BEFORE SHE BEGINS
YOU KNOW THAT WAS PART PART
OF THE WHOLE ISSUE AROUND THIS
BEING A TWO THIRDS VOTE --
AND SO WHAT THE WHAT THE BILL
ACTUALLY DOES IS THAT WHICH IS
A CEILING BUT IT BUT IT DOESN'T
WE DON'T ACTUALLY START THERE
BUT PLEASE GO AHEAD YEAH SO
WE WORKED DILIGENTLY OBVIOUSLY
WITH POWER CYCLE WE DIDN'T
WANT TO AFFECT THEIR CURRENT
AUTHORITY PERTAINING TO E.
WASTE AND SO WE DIDN'T THERE
IS CURRENTLY NOT A CEILING
BUT THEIR CURRENT PROGRAM
FUNCTIONS I THINK THE AVERAGE
COST ABOUT FORTY SIX DOLLARS
ON A PRODUCT AND SO THERE WAS
JUST CONCERNS ABOUT CHANGING
THAT EXISTING PROGRAM THAT'S
WHY WE DECIDED TO NOT PUT A
CEILING ON IT YEAH SO THAT
WOULD BE A FORTY SIX DOLLAR
ADDITIONAL COST ON SOMEONE
BUYING A TOY FOR EXAMPLE THAT
IS THE CURRENT AVERAGE PRICE
BUT A LOT OF THOSE PRODUCTS ARE
MUCH LARGER SO WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT CURRENTLY IT'S ABOUT FOUR
INCHES SCREEN SIZE THAT ARE
COVERED AND SO WE'RE WE'RE VERY
HOPEFUL THAT AT ITS YOU KNOW TO
COVER THE COST RECYCLING WOULD
BE A LOT LOWER WE ALSO WANT TO
ENCOURAGE COMPANIES TO CREATE
PRODUCTS THAT BATTERIES ARE
NOT EMBEDDED IN SO THEY COULD
BE REMOVABLE AND THEN THEY'D
BE PART OF THIS OTHER PROGRAM
-- THE PR PROGRAM CREATED BY
AB TWENTY FOUR FOURTEEN SO
WE HAVE A LOT OF BELLS AND
WHISTLES IN THERE TO HOPEFULLY
ENCOURAGE LOWER RECYCLING COSTS
AND ALSO FOR FOLKS TO BE IN
AB TWENTY FOUR FORTY I'M JUST
THINKING ABOUT A LOT OF THE
TOYS THAT ACTUALLY ARE THE
SCHOOL ON MANY OF THEM HAVE
ABOUT THEY DON'T HAVE ZIPPERS
ON HIM SO YOU CAN TAKE IT OUT
I CAN'T I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE
TOYS I STATION BUT I WILL SAY
THEY CAME HERE IN SUPPORT SO
HOPEFULLY I THINK THE THING IS
THE BIG ONE THE OTHER CONCERN I
HAVE IN A PROBABLY YEARS ABOUT
FIND OUT THROUGH THIS IS A THE
TRANSPORTATION AND RECYCLING
CAPACITY TO DEAL WITH WHAT WAS
GOING TO BE A REALLY PLETHORA
OF OF THESE PRODUCTS ARE HAS
THAT BEEN DISCUSSED THAT CAL
RECYCLE YEAH ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT WE DID I BELIEVE IN AB
TWENTY FOUR FORTY S.
TRY TO ENCOURAGE IN STATE
RECYCLING FACILITIES OBVIOUSLY
WE CAN'T REQUIRE THAT BUT
IT WORKING WITH P.
R.
B.
AT THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
SO SEASON OTHERS WERE TRYING
TO ENCOURAGE MORE FACILITY
DEVELOPMENT IN CALIFORNIA
AND ALSO THERE ARE FACILITIES
OUTSIDE THE STATE THAT THESE
PRODUCTS CAN BE TAKEN TO BUT
OBVIOUSLY COMPLETELY AGREE FROM
AN ENVIRONMENTAL STANDPOINT
WE'RE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE THE
RECYCLING OF THESE PRODUCTS
AS CLOSE TO THAT POINT SOURCES
POSSIBLE AND AND IF I COULD
ADD I MEAN IT IT THE SORT
OF THAT THAT THE ENTRY OF
THE WAY STREAM THAT IS PART
OF THE DESIGN HERE IS TO
INCORPORATE INTO THE U.
S.
PROGRAM -- AND NOT HAVE IT
RUN THROUGH KIND OF YOUR
STANDARD WAY STREAM THROUGH
TRUCKS AND CENTROSOME WE
THINK THAT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE
THE FEE -- ONCE COLLECTED IS
AVAILABLE AS AN INCENTIVE TO
PARTICIPANTS IN THE U.
S.
PROGRAMS OKAY WELL THANK YOU
I HI MOM COMPARABLY GOING
JUST ABSTAINED TODAY I THINK
THERE'S QUESTIONS THAT WE'VE
NEVER GOTTEN REPORT AT LEAST I
HAVEN'T BEEN PRIVY TO HOW THE
-- NOT THE QUANTITY OF E.
WASTE AND WHAT WE'RE DOING
WITHOUT BECAUSE THAT STARTED
A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND YOU
KNOW ARE WE YOU KNOW FINDING
STOCKPILES OF THE WAY SO I
THINK THERE WAS A DISCUSSION
ABOUT THAT I BELIEVE WE HAVE
AN EXPERT HERE THE PRESENCE
OF NET CASH OUT BUT IF YOU
CHOOSE NOT TO BRING IN ALL
THE FOUR WORDS THAT THOSE ARE
JUST CONCERNS THAT I'M GOING
TO HAVE TO GET SOME ANSWERS
LONG BEFORE I AM COMFORTABLE
WITH THE BILL THAT THANK YOU
AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOU
THE STAKEHOLDERS ARE WORKING
TOGETHER I THINK THAT'S WHAT
WE LOOK FOR IN MANY OF THESE
WERE THERE A LOT OF QUESTIONS
TO BEGIN WITH BUT I'M STILL NOT
QUITE THERE BUT THANK YOU YEAH
I DON'T HAVE TO HAVE FASTENED
OUT SO JUST IF YOU COULD I JUST
GOT THIS FEW SECONDS AGO TO
TRY TO WITH THE REAL QUICK WHAT
WAS THE PROCESS FOR WE TAKE
THE PLANTS THROUGH THE SOIL
WHERE AT WHAT IS THE PROCESS
OF THE PROCESS IT AND IF YOU
RECALL SENATOR DOLLY WENT
WHEN WE FIRST PRESENTED THE
BILL IN APRIL THE THE CONCEPT
WAS VERY DIFFERENT IT WAS TO
CREATE AN EXTENDED PRODUCER
RESPONSIBILITY MODEL WHERE IT
YOU KNOW YOU SET UP A SYSTEM
ACROSS THE STATE WERE RETAILERS
WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE SPACE
AND RESOURCES TO DO THIS AGAIN
INSTEAD THE AMENDED VERSION
PUTS THIS INTO THE CAL RECYCLE
YOU WISH PROGRAM SO IN THE SAME
THAT THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE
WHO ARE INCENTIVIZED BY THE U.
S.
FEES TO ACCEPT COMPUTER
EQUIPMENT SCREENS ETCETERA THEY
WILL NOW HAVE AN INCENTIVE TO
TO ACCEPT AND DISPOSE PROPERLY
OF EMBEDDED BATTERIES OR
PRODUCTS WITH BETTER BATTERY
SET SO THAT'S THAT'S THE
LOGIC -- WE THINK IT CREATES
IT'LL IT'LL LINES ECONOMIC
INTEREST BUT IT ALSO LEADS TO
EFFICIENCIES OVER TIME BUT BUT
TOLD MY CONSTITUENT WHO HAS
THIS PRODUCT IF HE GETS PUT IN
PLACE DO THEY THROW IT IN THE
GARBAGE CAN DO THEY PUT IT IN
A SEPARATE GARBAGE CANDY OR
ANYTHING WHAT WE HOPE IS THAT
THEY WILL TAKE THIS ALONG WITH
IT WITH THEIR OTHER E.
WASTE AT TO A DESIGNATED E.
WASTE COLLECTION -- IN THIS
YOU KNOW IT'S SO THERE'S A
WHOLE RANGE OF PARTICIPANTS
CAN IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD
-- WHO HAVE WHO HAVE SIGNED
UP -- AND WE HAVE DIRECTED
SENATE-DISTRICT GUARDS YEAH
SO CURRENTLY A LOT OF THE
COLLECTION SITES IN THE
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE SITES
THAT CURRENTLY CORRECT CLICK
YOU WAYS BUT ALSO AS PART OF
THIS BILL THERE'S GOING TO
BE A ROBUST EDUCATION PROGRAM
WE ALSO BUILD OUT A LITTLE
BIT SOME OF THAT E.
WASTE SECTION OF THE BILL
TO SAY YOU KNOW HERE'S WHERE
YOU'RE GONNA COLLECT IT WE'RE
GOING TO INCENTIVIZE RECYCLERS
OBVIOUSLY DO THIS COLLECTION
-- THEY ALSO DO A LOT OF MY
COLLECTION EVENTS WILL TO SAY
HEY WE'RE GONNA BE HERE ON
SATURDAY COME COME DROP OFF
YOUR YOUR PRODUCTS SO THERE'S A
LOT OF DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES
TO DROP THESE PRODUCTS OFTEN
OUR OPINION OKAY THANK YOU
AND SHOUT SENATE -- IT IT YOU
KNOW WHAT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
PREVENT IS -- THESE PRODUCTS
MAKING THEIR WAY THROUGH
YOU KNOW THE CONVENTIONAL
RESTAURANT -- AND SO YOU'VE
GOT YOU'VE GOT A COMBINATION
OF DISSIDENTS AND HOPEFULLY
COULD SWELL OKAY WELL EDUCATE
CONSUMERS THAT WILL ACTUALLY
UTILIZE THIS NEW PATHS SO MY
MY LAST QUESTION IS THIS A
TWO THIRDS VOTE CENTER BECAUSE
YOU'RE GIVEN THE AUTHORITY
TO -- THE THE CHARICE I CALL
THIS IS A TWO THIRDS VOTE THIS
DOES NOT LEAVE THE ASSEMBLY
ON A TWO THIRDS VOTE TO GET
SIXTY ONE VOTES FOR OKAY
ROOSEVELT OKAY HI I'M LET'S
LET YOU CLOSE ALL RIGHT SIR DO
YOU KNOW THANK YOU COLLEAGUES
AT THIS BILL HAS BEEN LONG IN
COMING NO I I'VE BEEN WORKING
ON IT FOR TWO YEARS BUT I DON'T
KNOW I OWE A DEBT OF GRATITUDE
TO OTHER FOLKS FOR EIGHT YEARS
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON VARIOUS
VERSIONS THIS BILL SO IN A VERY
GRATEFUL FOR THE SPONSORS FOR
ALLIES BUT BUT ALSO FOR ALL
OF THE STAKEHOLDERS -- AS YOU
CAN SEE THERE'S AND THERE'S NO
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL THIS
POINT I THINK THAT'S PROOF THAT
WE FOUND A BASIS FOR A SMART
AND ECONOMICALLY VIABLE WAY
TO DO THIS -- AND WITH THAT
I RESPECTFULLY ASK RESIDENTS
OKAY OVER COVER BUT I WOULD
LET PEOPLE THIS TO STICK AROUND
FOR ONE SECOND AFTER THE VOTE
-- BUT LET'S LET'S CALL IT UP
