Summary

(1) Existing law, which is part of the hazardous waste control law, imposes various manifest requirements for transporting hazardous waste, including, among others, requiring any person generating hazardous waste that is transported, or submitted for transportation, for offsite handling, treatment, storage, disposal, or any combination thereof, to complete a manifest and be subject to transporter registration requirements. A violation of the hazardous waste control law is a crime. The federal Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest Establishment Act requires the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a national electronic manifest system. Under its regulatory authority under the federal act, the EPA has adopted regulations implementing the electronic manifest system and authorizing the use of an electronic manifest for the transportation of hazardous waste. The federal act requires states with authorized hazardous waste manifest programs to conform to those regulations implementing the electronic manifest system. This bill would make changes to the hazardous waste control law to conform the provisions of that law to the federal EPA regulations implementing the electronic manifest system, and would delete obsolete provisions. (2) By changing the conduct that constitutes the crime of violating the hazardous waste control law, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (3) 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.
