Beverage containers: recycling and litter reduction: funds.

Existing law, the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act, requires a distributor to pay a redemption payment of $0.04 for every beverage container sold or offered for sale in the state to the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery for deposit in the California Beverage Container Recycling Fund. After setting aside funds for the payment of refund values and administrative fees, and for a reserve for contingencies, the remaining moneys in the fund are continuously appropriated to the division for expenditure for designated programs, grants, and fee payments. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision of the act.
