Summary

The California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act, administered by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, defines terms and establishes the used oil recycling program, including an enforcement program to ensure that laws relating to used oil are properly carried out. The act defines "rerefined oil" as a lubricant base stock or oil base that meets specified criteria and that has been derived from "used oil," which the act defines to exclude certain contaminated oils and streams. The act prohibits any rerefined based stock that is not certified as meeting that definition of "rerefined oil" from being sold as rerefined oil. A violation of the act is a crime. This bill would expand the definition of "rerefined oil" to include a lubricant base stock or oil blend stock product derived from waste oil that is compatible for refining as a blend component for lubricant oil and other recycled oil content containing products, as specified. The bill would define "waste oil" to include those contaminated oils or waste streams that are not included in the definition of used oil. The bill would prohibit from being sold as rerefined oil any rerefined lubricant base stock or other recycled oil content containing product that is not certified as meeting the expanded definition of "rerefined oil." Because this bill would expand the scope of an existing crime, it would impose a state-mandated local program. 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.
