Williamson Act – New Law Workshop

As reported in CSAC’s Budget Action Bulletin, the Governor signed SB 863, the budget trailer bill that contains clean-up language to AB 2530 (Chapter 391, Statutes of 2010) and a $10 million appropriation for Williamson Act subventions. The new law sets forth an alternative funding source option that would shorten Williamson Act contracts to nine or 18 years, depending on the current term of the contract, in exchange for the landowners forfeit of no more than 10 percent of their tax benefit.

AB 2398 (Perez) – Support
As Amended June 23, 2010

Assembly Bill 2398, by Assembly Member John A. Perez, would require carpet manufacturers to submit a product stewardship plan to the Department of Resources Recycling & Recovery on or before September 30, 2011. CSAC supports a producer responsibility framework because it is the first step in a process that will serve to reduce waste from consumer products and its impact on the environment. 

AB 2398 will be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee on July 15.
