This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Assembly” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis.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

Existing law generally regulates fertilizing materials, as defined, including the labeling of fertilizing materials. Existing law defines "label" and "labeling" for purposes of these provisions. This bill would, until January 1, 2014, provide that "label" and "labeling" do not include a certified laboratory analysis, as defined, showing the nutrient contents of compost, cocompost, or mulch, as defined, if the laboratory analysis documentation contains a specified statement and other information, as provided.
