PWQA Opposes AB 1080 and SB54 – August 2020

SB 54 and AB 1080 would delegate an overwhelming amount of authority to Cal Recycle, and grant them carte blanche to levy fees on manufacturers to administer and enforce the program, at a time when the lasting effects of the pandemic on the economy are still unknown.

We must call into question the establishment of such a large, unnecessarily bureaucratic program, especially this year.

We previously provided specific suggestions to address these concerns. While we appreciate the discussion about our proposed amendments; until these fundamental, overarching concerns are addressed in AB 1080 and SB 54, we must remain opposed.
