SB 673: Hazardous waste.

The Hazardous Waste Control Law, among other things, authorizes the Department of Toxic Substances Control to regulate the generation and disposal of hazardous waste.

This bill would require the department, by January 1, 2018, to establish or update criteria for use in determining whether to issue a new or modified hazardous waste facilities permit or a renewal of a hazardous waste facilities permit, and to develop and implement, by July 1, 2018, programmatic reforms designed to improve the protectiveness, timeliness, legal defensibility, and enforceability of the departments permitting program.
