The new 1 μg maximum allowable level of lead requirements outlined in the bill are based on the standard NSF 61 2020. As promised during our prior collaborative discussions with your office and the sponsors regarding AB 2060, PMI advocated successfully for an expedited publication of NSF 61 2020 that occurred in August 2020. PMI’s actions clearly demonstrate that industry wants to achieve the objectives of AB 100. However, just like with NSF 61 2020 that allows for manufacturers to have until January 1, 2024 to certify all endpoint devices that provide drinking water to the new lead requirements in the standard, AB 100 needs to be revised accordingly to provide sufficient time for all those involved in the supply chain to get certified product to the marketplace.

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.
