FPA Opposes California SB 54 (Allen) and AB 1080 (Gonzalez)

FPA opposes these bills as they give unprecedented and unfettered power to the Department to come up with regulations to reach arbitrary goals of solid waste reduction by arbitrary dates, with no financing mechanism to do so. In addition, substantive amendments in the final week of session (with no policy or fiscal committee hearing) fail to address the significant deficiencies with the bills that have existed from their introduction and merely produce more implementation issues than solutions.
