Introduced by Assembly Members Sher, Speicr, Bates,
• Connelly, Friedman, Hannigan, Katz; La Follette,
Margolin, O'Connell, and Roos
February 13, 1987
•
An act to amend, add, and repeal Section 14504 of, and to

beverage containers, and making an appropriation therefor.
LECISLATIVE COUNSELS DICtsr
AB 612, as amended, Sher. Beverage containers: wine
coolers. •
(1) Under existing law, the California Beverage Container
Recycling and Litter Reduction Act, among other things,
establishes a redemption value of at least 1v for every
beverage container which is not a refillable beverage
container sold in the state on and after September 1, 1987, and
provides for increases, under specified circumstances, of
these values to at least 2V on and after December 31, 1989, or
after December 31, 1992, aft. These values and other fccs arc
deposited in the California Beverage Container Recycling
Fund, which is continuously appropriated to the Department
of Conservation. The act defines "beverage," for the purposes
of the act, as meaning beer and other malt beverages,
carbonated mineral and soda waters, and similar carbonated
soft drinks. A violation of the act is an infraction.
This bill would additionally include wine and distilled spirit
coolers, as defined, within the definition of beverage as of
April 1,. 1988, thereby imposing a state -mandated local
program by creating a new crime. The bill would make a
IN 411
statement of legislative intent concerning the reason for 'the
delayed operative date. The bill would also make an
appropriation, because specified fees and the redemption
values imposed on these beverage containers would be
deposited iette in the California Beverage Container
Recycling Fund.
(2) The California Constitution requires the state to
reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs
mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish
procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required
by this act for a specified reason.
Vote: %. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
1 SECTION 1. Section 14504 of' the Public Resources

5 This section shall become operative on April 1, 1988.
6 SECC, 4. Since manufacturers of wine and distilled -
7 spirit coolers were not originally subject to Division 12.1
8 (commencing .with Section 14500) of the Public
9 Resources Code and therefore require additional time lc
10 comply with its provisions, it' is the intent of the
11 Legislature to delay the operative date of Sections.2 arc -
12 3 of this act to April 1, 1988.
13 SEC. 5. No reimbursement is required by this act
14 pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the Californi::
15 Constitution because the only costs which may bc
16 incurred by a Local agency or school district will bc

18 infraction, changes the definition of a crime or infraction,
19 changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, or
