SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: AB 3749 (Sher)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position in SUPPORT of AB 3749 by Assemblyman Sher which
would impose a surcharge of 5 cents on each quart of oil sold in
the state and establish a used oil recycling program funded from
the surcharge.
BACKGROUND:
Existing law requires the California Integrated Waste Management
Board to prescribe guidelines for providing facilities for the
deposit of used oil by persons possessing not more than five
gallons at one time at no cost to those persons. Existing law
also requires manufacturers of containers for lubricating oils or
industrial oils for sale to consumers in California to label the
containers or provide specified signs or other written material
to retailers. Existing law regulates used oil as a hazardous
waste and prohibits the disposal of oil except at a facility or
by a recycler or hauler certified and with a permit issued by the
State Department of Health Services.
Assemblyman Sher has introduced AB 3749 which would enact the
California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act, under which every oil
manufacturer would be required to pay a recycling deposit of five
cents to the Integrated Waste Management Board for each quart of
oil sold or transferred to a dealer for sale in this state on or
after July 1 , 1991 , excepting oil on which a recycling deposit
has been paid.

BY DEPUTY
M382 (10/88)
The bill would require these revenues to be used for specified
purposes related to the recycling of used oil. The State would
pay a collection refund of not less than five cents per quart to
every certified used oil hauler for oil collected after January
1, 1992 and transferred to a certified used oil recycling
facility. This amount may be increased if the Integrated Waste
Management Board determines that an increase is necessary to
promote recycling of used oil. The bill also provides for the
certification of used oil haulers and facilities for the
recycling of used oil. The bill also provides for reporting by
each used oil hauler monthly beginning May 1, 1991 on the amount
of used oil collected and transported to a certified facility and
for other related reporting requirements.
The bill also provides for criminal and civil penalties for
violation of the provisions of the bill.
The Board of Supervisors has been concerned for some time about
the need to provide better facilities for the collection and
recycling of used oil. The introduction of AB 3749 appears to be
consistent with the Board of Supervisors ' objectives in this
regard and it is therefore recommended that the Board of
Supervisors indicate its support for AB 3749 .
