Bill	Beverage containers: handling fees: enforcement.	(1) The existing California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act requires a distributor of specified beverage containers to pay a redemption payment to the Department of Resource Recycling and Recovery, for each beverage container, as defined, sold or transferred, for deposit in the California Beverage Container Recycling Fund. From the fund, the department is continuously appropriated the amount necessary to pay handling fees to provide an incentive for the redemption of empty beverage containers in convenience zones. The department is required to pay a handling fee in an amount determined by subtracting the amount of the statewide average per-container cost to redeem beverage containers incurred by a certified recycler that does not receive a handling fee from the statewide average per-container cost incurred by recycling centers that receive handling fees, based on a survey the department is required to conduct at least once every 2 years to determine the actual cost for the redemption of beverage containers.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20112012	AB 1933	California AB 1933 (20112012)	bill appropriation	Beverage containers: handling fees: enforcement.	enacted	Gordon	6	30	7	2012-02-22	2012-09-25	openstates	ocd-bill/543caeed-613d-47d2-9733-c08b2e692bce	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201120120AB1933	5eef6fe93aa6c8bb98440f0939cd257df2f2b855e9b8c455bff1d9c7b670194a	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
