Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law prohibits the disposal of certain materials in solid waste disposal facilities, such as landfills. The law prohibits the disposal of oil absorbent materials that contain waste oil in a solid waste disposal facility, except that the prohibition does not apply to the disposal of less than one gallon of oil absorbent materials that contain waste oil resulting from a nonroutine spill.
This bill replaces the general prohibition on disposing of oil absorbent materials that contain waste oil in a solid waste disposal facility with a narrower prohibition.
