This bill died with 2011-2012 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” 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This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis.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
(1) Existing law prohibits the management of hazardous waste except in accordance with the hazardous waste control laws. A violation of the hazardous waste control laws is a crime. This bill would prohibit a person from selling, offering for sale, or offering for promotional purposes in this state a coal tar pavement product, as defined. The bill would also prohibit, after July 1, 2013, a person from applying a coal tar pavement product on driveways, parking areas, airport runways, and playgrounds. The bill would authorize the Department of Toxic Substances Control to issue a notice of corrective action to a person in violation of the bill and would allow a city or county to adopt an ordinance providing for enforcement of the requirements of the bill. Since a violation of the bill's requirements would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) 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.
