FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator Contra
CWIa
DATE; August 14, 1986 C
SUBJECT: Legislation - AB 4377 (O' Connell)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation:
Adopt a position of support for AB 4377 by Assemblyman O' Connell.
Background:
AB 4377 would allow, until January 1, 1990, a credit of 100 of the cost
incurred, by a taxpayer in providing for the recycling of hazardous
waste, reduction of hazardous waste at the source or treatment of
hazardous waste prior to its disposal in an appropriate land disposal
facility. The tax credit would be limited to those taxpayers who
generate 100 tons or less of hazardous waste each year and only in
relation to costs incurred with respect to hazardous waste generated in
California.
AB 4377 also requires the Legislative Analyst to conduct an evaluation
of the effectiveness of this tax credit and to report to the Legislature
by January 1, 1989.
To the extent that AB 4377 furthers established Board of Supervisors
policy by encouraging recycling, source reduction and treatment of
hazardous waste, the bill deserves the support of the Board of
Supervisors. In addition, since it applies only to small generators it
will not provide a tax break to larger generators who already apply
these principles to their hazardous waste. This provision also deserves
the support of the Board of Supervisors because of the large number of
small household and commercial generators of hazardous waste who do not
currently engage in recycling, source reduction or treatment of
hazardous wastes before disposing of their hazardous wastes.
AB 4377 has passed the Assembly and was scheduled to be heard in the
Senate Appropriations Committee on August 13, 1986.
