AB 2398, Perez – Product Stewardship for Carpet: SUPPORT
This bill was signed by the Governor on 9/30/10!
Requires, by September 30, 2011, a producer of carpet to submit a carpet stewardship plan to the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), which would be required to include specified elements including a funding mechanism that provides sufficient funding to carry out the plan, including administrative, operational, and capital costs of the plan.

SB 346 phases copper out of brake pads sold in California. This urgently needed measure is the only feasible way to reduce the single most significant source of copper in urban watersheds which is killing marine organisms, fatally impairing the viability of salmon and other fish and frustrating State, regional and local government efforts to meet our water quality objectives in the Bay Area and Southern California.

AB 2139, Chesbro – California Product Stewardship Act: SUPPORT
This bill failed passage by the full Assembly June 2010.
AB 2139 was significantly amended June 2010 in the Assembly appropriations committee removing the specific products and to require the California Department of Resources, Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) submit a report to the Legislature annually recommending that one or more consumer products be included as a covered product for purposes of this Act.
The bill would set requirements for a producer of a covered product, to develop, finance and manage a stewardship program.
- AB 2176, Blumenfield – California Lighting Efficiency
and Toxics Reduction Act: SUPPORT
This bill was held in the Assembly Appropriations Committee May 2010.
Requires producers of mercury containing lamps to develop, fund and manage a product stewardship program approved by the Department of Toxics Substances Control (DTSC). All mercury-containing lights collected by product stewardship programs must be recycled. In addition, lamps that do not contain mercury and are deemed less efficient will pay an annual fee to help fund research to improve lighting efficiency, reduce toxic impacts from lighting technologies, and other related projects.
