Senate Bill No. 1055
CHAPTER 292

An act to add Sections 42846.5 and 42889.1 to the Public Resources Code, relating to solid waste.

[ Filed with Secretary of State  September 01, 1999. Approved by Governor  August 31, 1999. ]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 1055, Bowen. Solid waste: tires.
The existing California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, which is administered by the California Integrated Waste Management Board, establishes an integrated waste management program. The California Tire Recycling Act, which is a part of the waste management act, requires every person who purchases a new tire from a retail seller of new tires to pay a disposal charge of 25¢ per tire to the seller.
This bill would require that the board or its contractors be permitted reasonable access to property on which waste tires are unlawfully stored to perform cleanup, abatement, or remedial work, as prescribed, if an order setting liability has been obtained by the board, or by its designee, against the property owner, and the board finds there is a significant threat to public health or the environment.
The bill would also require the board, in conjunction with the annual State Budget submitted to the Legislature, to submit to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature, a report that describes the expenditures proposed to be made for that fiscal year by the board for grants, loans, and contracts under the tire recycling program.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 42846.5 is added to the Public Resources Code, to read:

42846.5.
 If the owner of property upon which waste tires are unlawfully stored, stockpiled, or accumulated refuses to allow the board or its contractors access to enter onto the property and perform all necessary cleanup, abatement, or remedial work as authorized under Section 42846, the board or its contractors shall be permitted reasonable access to the property to perform that activity if an order setting civil liability has been issued or obtained pursuant to Article 6 (commencing with Section 42850) by the board, or by its designee pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 42850, against the property owner, and the board finds that there is a significant threat to public health or the environment.

SEC. 2.

 Section 42889.1 is added to the Public Resources Code, to read:

42889.1.
 Notwithstanding Section 7550.5 of the Government Code, each year, in conjunction with the State Budget submitted to the Legislature pursuant to Section 12 of Article IV of the California Constitution, the board shall submit to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature a report that describes the expenditures proposed to be made for that fiscal year by the board for grants, loans, and contracts under the tire recycling program.
