Hazardous materials: Green Ribbon Science Panel: meetings.

Existing law establishes the Green Ribbon Science Panel and authorizes the panel to, among other things, assist the Department of Toxic Substances Control in developing green chemistry and chemical policy recommendations and implementation strategies and details. Existing law requires the department to provide for staff and administrative support to the panel and requires the panel meet as often as the department deems necessary, with consideration of available resources, but not less than twice each year. This bill would increase the number of times the panel is required to meet to not less than 3 times each year.
