SB 54 Rulemaking Timeline Update
CalRecycle staff are currently drafting regulation text and incorporating the feedback received over the past several months of public workshops. The Agency's goal is to release draft language for public review and comment in the fall, at which time CalRecycle will host public workshops to receive additional input before moving into formal rulemaking early next year.

SB 1013 Regs Update
CalRecycle will be holding an informal public workshop on August 31, 2023 to consult with the public, the regulated community, and other interested persons to solicit feedback on draft regulatory language to prescribe a process for the registration of dealers and stewardship plan, reporting and operational requirements for dealer cooperatives.
The purpose of this draft regulatory language is to implement, make specific, and clarify Public Resources Code sections 14510.2, 14578 and 14578.5 that were added to the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act by SB 1013 (Atkins, Ch. 610, Statutes of 2022). A copy of the draft regulation text will be posted in advance of the workshop to give interested parties time to review the content. The CRA team will share with our members as soon as it posts.
