to mean a product containing household hazardous waste, except a product that is
subject to another statewide extended producer responsibility program and pesticides.
The bill would require a producer of a covered product to register with a PRO, which
would be required to develop and implement a producer responsibility plan for the
collection, transportation, and the safe and proper management of covered products.
The bill would require CalRecycle to adopt regulations to implement the program with an
effective date no earlier than July 1, 2026. The bill would require a PRO, within 12
months of the effective date of the regulations, to submit a product responsibility plan to
CalRecycle. The bill would require the plan to include specified elements, including a
funding mechanism that provides sufficient funding to carry out the plan. The bill would
require, within 6 months of receipt of the plan, CalRecycle to approve or disapprove the
plan. The bill would require a PRO to implement its plan within 90 days of approval. The
bill would require the plan to be fully funded in a manner that equitably distributes the
plan's costs among participant producers that reflects sales volumes and the cost to
manage the covered products that a producer produces. The bill would require the
PRO to reimburse local jurisdictions for costs associated with providing a
convenient collection system for covered products if the PRO's plan relies on local
jurisdictions to collect or manage covered products. This bill would require the PRO
provide an annual report to CalRecycle, and pay their administrative charges for the
enforcement of the PRO and plans. Civil penalties would be collected for non-
compliance.

1) This bill would authorize a development proponent that submits a preliminary
application for a housing development project to request a preliminary fee and exaction
estimate and would generally require the local agency to comply with the request to
provide the estimate within 10 business days of the submission of the preliminary
application, except as specified. From the bill hyperlinked above, "...(b) (1) A

required by subdivision (a) may include in its preliminary application a request for a
preliminary fee and exaction estimate, which the local agency shall provide within 10

housing development project is complete to provide the development proponent with an
itemized list and total sum amount of all fees and exactions that will apply to the project
with within 10 days of the above -described determination of completeness transmitted to
the applicant. From the bill hyperlinked above, "...65943.1. (a) A public agency that
