This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

(1) The California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act, administered by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, among other things, authorizes the department to issue grants to, or contract with, local governments, nonprofit entities, and private entities for specified purposes including, among other things, the purpose of protecting advancements and developments in lubricating oil. Existing law establishes the Used Oil Recycling Fund and continuously appropriates money from the fund to the department to provide, among other things, grants and contracts to local governments, nonprofit entities, and private entities. This bill would instead authorize the department to issue grants to, or contract with, local governments, nonprofit entities, and private entities for the purpose of product advancements and developments in lubricating oil. By changing the purposes for which money in the fund may be used, the bill would make an appropriation. This bill would revise the definition of "used oil hauler" and "used oil recycling facility" for purposes of the act and would make conforming changes in the act with regard to the administration of the act by the department. (2) The act requires the department to pay a recycling incentive to every industrial generator, curbside collection program, and certified used oil collection center for collected or generated used lubricating oil, including the amount of used oil transported under certain conditions to an out-of-state recycling facility registered with, or certified by, the department and operating in substantial compliance with certain federal regulations. The act also requires the department, on and after January 1, 2013, to pay a rerefining incentive to certain recycling facilities that produce rerefined base lubricants meeting specified requirements and to set the amount, on and after January 1, 2014, at 2 cents per gallon. This bill would revise the conditions under which the used oil is required to be transferred to a registered or certified out-of-state recycling facility. The bill would change the date to January 1, 2013, when the department is required to set the amount of the rerefining incentive at 2 cents per gallon and would specify that the rerefining incentive is paid to a recycling facility for rerefined oil produced from used oil. (3) The act requires the department to provide funds from the California Used Oil Recycling Fund to rural counties for local government-sponsored collection efforts for certain costs. The act imposes certain conditions with regard to the payment of the recycling incentive in small rural counties. This bill would repeal the requirement that provides funds to rural counties and the conditions for payment of the recycling incentive in small rural counties. (4) The act requires used oil recycling facilities and certain registered or certified out-of-state recycling facilities to submit a report to the department regarding the resultant amount of recycled oil product. This bill would instead require the report to include the disposition of the used oil, including the volume of any resultant product. (5) The act requires industrial and lubricating oil sales and recycling to be reported at the end of each 6-month period. This bill would instead require the department to make this information available as an annual report on its Internet Web site. The bill would also make various technical and conforming changes to the act. (6) Because a violation of the requirements imposed by the bill would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (7) 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 a specified reason.
