Household hazardous waste: transportation manifest.

Existing law requires, on or before December 31, 2019, public agencies and their contractors that transport household hazardous waste to a hazardous waste facility to use certain consolidated manifesting procedures. Existing law establishes volumetric and weight limits on the amount of hazardous waste that a conditionally exempt small quantity generator may transport to a household hazardous waste collection facility. Existing law expresses the weight limit in 2 alternative measures. This bill would extend the consolidated manifesting procedures requirement to December 31, 2020. Because the bill would extend this requirement, thereby extending local agencies' obligation to comply with this requirement, and because a violation of this requirement would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would also eliminate one of the alternative weight measures. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for specified reasons.
