RECYCLE WE ALSO AMENDED THE
DEFINITION OF RESPONSIBLE IN
MARKETS TO BETTER ARTICULATE
THE END MARKET IS THE
DESTINATION WHERE THE MATERIAL
IS RECLAIMED AND RECONSTITUTED
INTO NEW MATERIAL LASTLY THE
BILL AS A CLARIFYING DETERMINE
THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PROCESS BETWEEN THE PRODUCER
RESPONSIBILITY ORGANISATION A
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BY EMPOWERING
THE ADVISORY BOARD TO MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PARTIES
AND GIVING EITHER PARTY THE
ABILITY TO PURSUE OUR PATRICIA
ARBITRATION MEMBERS THESE
ARE MINOR BUT CRITICAL FIXES
NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE WASTE
HAULING INDUSTRY CAN DO ITS

CALIFORNIA MEET THE AMBITIOUS
GOALS WE SET AND SB FIFTY
FOUR IT'S ESSENTIAL THAT WE

DIRECTOR NATIONAL STEWARDSHIP
ACTION COUNCIL AND SHE IS

ARE YOU THERE I AM THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR I'M I.
DECEMBER IN THE FOUNDING
DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL SEARCH
ACTION COUNCIL A NONPROFIT
ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATION WITH
THE VISION THAT THE U.
S.
THAT CAME A CIRCULAR AND
EQUITABLE ECONOMY AND WE ARE
PLEASED TO SUPPORT AB EIGHTEEN
NINETY SEVEN I'VE SPENT THE
LAST TWENTY YEARS OF MY THIRTY
TWO YEAR CAREER PROMOTING
PRETTY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
ADVISER TO THE CHAIR OF THE
OLD WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD
BEING AN ADVOCATE PASSING
EPR LEGISLATION ON MERCURY
THERMOSTATS CARPET PAINT
PHARMACEUTICAL THAN SHARKS
AND HELPING NOW WITH PACKAGING
AND THAT'S BECAUSE FIFTY FOUR
FOLLOWING THE BILL'S PASSAGE AS
WE WORK WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS
INCLUDING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
AND MY STOLLER'S TO ENSURE THAT
THESE PROGRAMS ARE PROPERLY
IMPLEMENTED AND WILL DO SO
AGAIN BUT THAT'S THE FIFTY
FOUR WE BELIEVE THE PRIVATE
AND MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT
HOLLERS THAT MANAGE WASTE
NEED TO AGREE WITH THE FINAL
LANGUAGE BECAUSE THEY ARE KEY
STAKEHOLDERS IN IMPLEMENTING
THE PROGRAM ADDITIONALLY THEY
HAVE ALREADY MADE INVESTMENTS
TO BUILD CALIFORNIA'S RECYCLING
INFRASTRUCTURE AND THOSE
INVESTMENTS MUST MUST BE
PROTECTED AND THE PRODUCER
RESPONSIBILITY ORGANISATION
SHOULD NOT HAVE AN OVERSIZED
INFLUENCE OVER THE HOLLERS
BUT BE A PARTNER IN DEVELOPING
MARKETS REDUCING CONTAMINATION
AND PROVIDING FUNDING FOR
NEW INFRASTRUCTURE DURING
THE NEGOTIATIONS CALIFORNIA'S
HAULERS EXPRESSED THE NEED FOR
SOME KEY ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED
WHAT THE BILL INCLUDING HAVING
A CLEAR METHOD TO RESOLVE
ISSUES BETWEEN THEM AND THE
PRODUCER RUN ORGANIZATION
AND FIXING THE DEFINITION
OF RESPONSIBLE AND MARKETS
TO REMOVE THE WORD RECYCLING
BECAUSE RECYCLING IS NOT AND
THEN MARKET BUT A MEANS TO GET
TO THE END MARKET EIGHTY EIGHTY
NINETY SEVEN RESOLVE THESE
ISSUES THE AMENDMENTS MAKE A
CORRECTION IN THE DEFINITION
OF RECYCLABLE MARKETS I'M
SORRY RESPONSIBLE AND MARKETS
BY REMOVING THE WORD RECYCLING
WHILE SOME ARE CONCERNED THAT
THIS WILL SOMEHOW OPEN THE
DOOR TO CHEMICAL RECYCLING WE
INTERPRET THE DEFINITION OF
QUOTE UNQUOTE RECYCLING IN THE
BILL AS CLEARLY PREVENTING THAT
FROM OCCURRING THE AMENDMENTS
ALSO REQUIRE THE ADVISORY
BOARD TO OFFER RECOMMENDATIONS
TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND
THEREFORE AUTHORIZES EITHER
PARTY TO INITIATE NON BINDING
ARBITRATION IF THE ADVISORY
BOARD EVALUATION IS THAT THE
ACTIONS ARE DISRUPTING MORE
ADVERSELY AFFECTING OPERATIONS
BECAUSE IT IS NON BINDING WE
BELIEVE IT DOES NOT PREVENT
COVER CYCLE FROM HAVING
THE FINAL AUTHORITY TO TAKE
NECESSARY ACTION TO INSURE THE
PROGRAM WORKS AS PLANNED WITH
MATERIALS BEING TRULY RECYCLED
WITHOUT ADDING BURDENS TO
ALREADY IMPACTED COMMUNITIES
PROTECTING THEM AND REMEDIATING
UNDER RESOURCE COMMUNITIES SB
