distribution or sale of any polystyrene foam food service
product or food packaging manufactured with CFC-11 or CFC-12
or any fully halogenated CFC.
2. Prohibit, on or after December 31 , 1991, the manufacture ,
distribution or sale of any rigid polystyrene foam product

4. Require, beginning January 1, 1991, that manufacturers of
the products described above reduce by 25% each year the use
and emission of CFC-11, CFC-12 or any fully halogenated CFC.
5. Require, if by February 1 , 1991 , it appears that the
December 31, 1991 deadline cannot be met, the manufacturers,
distributors or sellers to report to the appropriate policy
committees of the Legislature by not later than July 1, 1991
explaining why they cannot comply.
To the extent that SB 2400 would tend to outlaw the use of
polystyrene products which are manufactured with CFCs from being
used in California it appears that 'it is consistent with the
Board' s concerns in the area of the environment. It would,
therefore, be appropriate for the Board of Supervisors to
indicate its support for SB 2400.
