TO: All Interested Parties 

SUBJECT: SB 1013 Changes to the Quality Incentive Payment Program Workshop 

Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1013 (SB 1013, Atkins, Chapter 610, Statutes of 2022) into law on September 27, 2022. This legislation amended the Quality Incentive Payment (QIP) for glass as indicated below: 

• The department may make a quality incentive payment only for color-sorted glass beverage containers that are substantially free of contamination and are used for the manufacturing of glass beverage containers in this state (Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 14549.1(c)(1)(A)). 

• Up to fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) may be expended annually by the department for quality incentive payments for empty glass beverage containers pursuant to Section 14549.1. (PRC Section 14581(a)(7)).

These changes take effect beginning January 1, 2023. 

To collect input effectively and to allow exchange among interested parties, the Department will hold an informal workshop to discuss the changes to the Quality Incentive Payment Program. Your feedback at this workshop is important to help CalRecycle develop workable compliance approaches.
