The purpose of this workshop is to introduce draft regulatory concepts and solicit feedback from the public, regulated community, and other interested parties as staff begin to draft regulatory language to implement, interpret, and make specific The Responsible Battery Recycling Act (Public Resources Code sections 42420 – 42428).
