Illegal disposal site abatement
California may fund local efforts to remove abandoned recreational vehicles and curb illegal dumping.
The law expands state support for local cleanup and enforcement, with priority for disadvantaged communities.
What the law does
- Authorizes the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, if the Legislature appropriates money, to issue grants and use existing programs for abandoned recreational-vehicle removal and disposal.
- Authorizes support for local illegal-dumping enforcement strategies, enforcement teams, and designated illegal-dumping enforcement officers.
- Requires the department to prioritize projects in disadvantaged communities.
Who it affects
- Local enforcement agencies seeking state support for abandoned recreational-vehicle cleanup and illegal-dumping enforcement.
- Residents of disadvantaged communities prioritized for funded projects.
