AB 1158 (Chu) – SUPPORT
As Amended September 8, 2017
AB 1158 was voted off the Senate Floor and returned to the
Assembly Floor for a concurrence vote during the last week of
session. This measure would greatly improve California’s
underperforming carpet stewardship program which helps to divert
carpet from California’s landfills by increasing carpet
recycling. CSAC supports this bill because it sets concreate
recycling targets and formalizes the stakeholder advisory
committee, provides flexibility for carpet manufactures to help
increase compliance.

AB 726 & AB 813 (Holden) – Two Year Bills
AB 726 and AB 813, by Assembly Member Holden, were made two-year
bills this week. Both measures, opposed by CSAC, would have
hindered the ability of new Community Choice Aggregation (CCA)
organizations to form by making it more difficult and expensive
to finalize their procurement plans because of new requirements
imposed by the bills. The Author of the bills released a
statement acknowledging that more discussion on work on the bills
was needed before they moved forward.
