<ns0:Subject>Plastic Bulk Merchandise Containers: proof of ownership.</ns0:Subject>
</ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law requires any person or entity purchasing or transporting plastic bulk merchandise containers, as defined, who is in the business of recycling, shredding, or destruction of plastic bulk merchandise containers to obtain a proof of ownership record or bill of lading from a person selling or delivering 5 or more plastic bulk merchandise containers, and to also verify the seller’s identity, as provided.</html:p>
<html:p>Existing law requires the proof of ownership record to include specified information, including, among other information, the name, address, telephone number, and signature of the seller or the seller’s authorized representative. Violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would additionally require that the email address of the seller or seller’s authorized representative be included in the proof of ownership record. By
expanding the scope of an existing crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.</html:p>
<html:p>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.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.</html:p>
