AB 2048: Public Agencies Must Post Solid Waste and Recycling Hauler Franchise Agreements Online
New Legislation Recently Passed and Signed
The Legislature recently passed and the governor signed AB 2048. The law requires:
• Local and state public agencies to post to their public website all franchise agreements with solid waste and recycling haulers
• Local and state agencies to provide a direct hyperlink to the online agreements to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle)
• CalRecycle to create and maintain a public database of public agency franchise agreements with the hyperlinks provided
AB 2048 would not apply to public agencies that provide all solid waste or recycling collection services with their own employees.
If you have any questions about these new requirements or how they may impact your agency, please contact the attorney author of this legal alert listed to the right in the firm’s Municipal Law Practice or your Best Best & Krieger LLP attorney.
