LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 752, as amended, Padilla. ~~California Coastal Commission: powers and duties.~~ Solid waste: collection service: disruptions.

The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, administered by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, generally regulates the disposal, management, and recycling of solid waste. The act requires solid waste handling services, which includes the collection and transportation of solid waste, to be provided by a local agency, a solid waste enterprise, or both.
This bill would require a provider of solid waste handling services to provide timely notice to its customers of a potential labor dispute that will disrupt the collection of solid waste. The bill would require a provider of solid waste handling services to provide a timely refund to customers following a failure to collect solid waste. The bill would also require the Attorney General to adopt regulations to enforce these provisions and to assess administrative penalties, as specified.
The California Coastal Act of 1976 provides for the planning and regulation of development, under a coastal development permit process, within the coastal zone, as defined, that shall be based on various coastal resources planning and management policies set forth in the act. Existing law requires the commission to periodically review its regulations and procedures and determine what revisions, if any, are necessary and appropriate to simplify and expedite the review of any matter that is before the commission, as provided.
This bill would also require the commission to, among other things, periodically review its regulations and procedures and determine what revisions, if any, are necessary and appropriate to clarify the review of any matter that is before the commission, as provided.
