AB 1583, as introduced, Eggman. The California Recycling Market Development Act.
(1) Existing law requires all rigid plastic bottles and rigid plastic containers sold in the state to be labeled with a code that indicates the resin used to produce the bottles or containers, with specified numbers and letters placed in relation to a triangle, designed as prescribed.
This bill would delete the prescribed description of that triangle.
(2) Existing law requires the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery to develop a comprehensive market development plan that will stimulate market demand in the state for postconsumer waste material and secondary waste material generated in the state. Existing law authorizes a local governing body, as defined, to propose eligible property within its jurisdiction as a recycling market development zone, as defined, and authorizes the department to designate recycling market development zones.
This bill would require the department, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to establish a Paper Recycling Incentive Program that makes incentive payments to in-state processors of waste paper and to establish an Organic Waste Recycling Incentive Program that makes incentive payments to in-state organic waste recycling facilities that process organic waste collected from municipal sources. The bill would require the department to convene a Statewide Commission on Recycling Markets and Curbside Recycling and would require the commission to, among other things, issue policy recommendations to achieve specified market development goals and waste reduction goals and provide regular feedback to the department on public messaging designed to encourage proper recycling and to minimize contamination in curbside recycling programs.
(3) Existing law creates the Recycling Market Development Revolving Loan Subaccount and continuously appropriates the funds deposited in the subaccount to the department for making loans and payments to specified entities within the recycling market development zones and in other specified areas for purposes of the Recycling Market Development Revolving Loan Program. Existing law makes these provisions inoperative on July 1, 2021.
This bill would extend the inoperative date of these provisions to July 1, 2031. By extending the operation of a continuously appropriated fund, the bill would make an appropriation of special fund moneys. The bill would also make conforming changes.
(4) Existing sales and use tax laws impose taxes on retailers measured by the gross receipts from the sale of tangible personal property sold at retail in this state, or on the storage, use, or other consumption in this state of tangible personal property purchased from a retailer for storage, use, or other consumption in this state. The California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority Act establishes the California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority. The act authorizes, until January 1, 2021, the authority to provide financial assistance to a participating party in the form of specified sales and use tax exclusions for projects, including those that promote California-based manufacturing, California-based jobs, advanced manufacturing, reduction of greenhouse gases, or reduction in air and water pollution or energy consumption. The act prohibits the sales and use tax exclusions from exceeding $100,000,000 for each calendar year. The Sales and Use Tax Law, for the purposes of the taxes imposed pursuant to that law, until January 1, 2021, excludes the lease or transfer of title of tangible personal property constituting a project to any contractor for use in the performance of a construction contract for a participating party that will use that property as an integral part of the approved project.
This bill would extend the authorization to provide financial assistance in the form of a sales and use tax exclusion for qualifying projects to January 1, 2031, and would extend the sales and use tax exclusion to January 1, 2031.
This act shall be known, and may be cited, as the California Recycling Market Development Act.

Maintaining an exotic animal as a pet could appear cool or it may make you different, but it really is not worth it. The The International Primatological Society , the American Society of Primatologists , the Humane Society , the American Veterinary Healthcare Association , and the Jane Goodall Institute all speak out against getting primates as pets. Understand about their behaviors and what goes into their everyday care and all the ways you can aid: socializing, cleaning stalls, mucking fields, grooming and considerably much more! They both love dogs, and occasionally volunteer their services to the Raytown Animal Shelter to help desperate strays in need to have of grooming services to greater their probabilities of adoption.

ENSURING PROGRESS FOR CRAUGHWELL NATIONAL SCHOOL EXTENSION
I have held urgent talks to ensure that the expansion project for Craughwell National School moves ahead without further delay.
I met this week with the school's Board of Management and the architectural team from the Office of Public Works that is responsible for designing the project.
The full project consists of a two-storey extension of 1,628m² to the existing school that will replace prefab classrooms.
It will include eight classrooms, a general purpose sports hall, a multi-purpose room, offices for administration and the principal, a lift, toilets, car parking and a drop-off and pick-up area.
Planning permission was obtained in May 2018 but since then there has been no progress in bringing the project to tender.
After a very frank meeting with the architectural team from the OPW, the OPW has committed to progressing the project to tender stage this year.
They have further undertaken to produce a programme of works so that progress can be monitored by the Board of Management on a monthly basis from now on.
I expressed my disappointment at the lack of progress at the meeting but I am now confident that progress will made and that Craughwell National School will now receive the full attention it deserves.
The project will also include badly needed refurbishment works to the existing school.
There have been years of frustration bringing the school to the planning stage. Now we can bring the project to tender.
When completed, Craughwell will have a state of the art modern learning centre for its national school children.

Welcome to the eleventh installment of Past Greatness, a monthly series I'll be doing showcasing great, older works. All albums listed below are of 8+ quality. This month's album is a Pop-defining 60's diddy created by a future madman turned murderer.
Growing up, I, along with half a dozen or so cousins, used to spend the summer months at our grandparents house while the parents scampered off to work. We ranged in age from 4 to 14, all coming together under one roof, one family, to soak up the sun, rummage through old VHS tapes, race around the pool and swing set, play Gran Turismo on the Playstation 1, and get unnecessarily dowsed in sunscreen by our grandmother. The memories are scarce but potent. We used to film ourselves conducting outrageous acts, simulate a restaurant on the second floor, down freezer pops like they were shots, watch endless episodes of 90's Nickelodeon shows, and poke fun at my grandma's obsession with Richard Simmons' Sweatin To The Oldies. That last one, in retrospect, is perhaps the most curious. Not for any reason in particular, other than the fact that, years later, I'd obsess over the very thing she danced to; music. Since surrounding myself with the medium in all forms, nothing had cracked that nostalgia I had experienced in that decrepit, one-hundred year old house. Until now.
Since graduating college, for reasons unknown, my recollection of events both grand and small has begun to diminish. It's a scary occurrence, especially for someone who clings to the fear of dementia one day happening to them. It's hard enough to recall what a workmate said to me mere days ago, yet alone personality-creating flashbacks from years past. For a brief moment, virtually every 37 minutes when I listen to it, Presenting The Fabulous Ronettes makes me remember. It is exactly the type of album, from sound to style to flair to look, that appeared in cassette form in my grandparents' antiquated radio. Even the cover itself, through this purely digital laptop by which I type from, gives off a mighty odor of dust, as if it had been sitting there since 1964; the year in which it released. It's transportive, the type of album that embodies a decade of stereotypes. Oversized sedans, poodle skirts, beehive hairdos, drive-in movie theaters, housewives dreaming of the world. That's what the Fabulous Ronettes, through Veronica's goddess-like vocals, the background singers' infinitely catchy melodies, and Phil Spector's infamous wall of sound cascade, represents.
Unlike a handful of other wistful albums in my catalogue, ones that reimagine a decade without actually living through it (The Caretaker's work, Trance Farmers' Dixie Crystals, Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 2, etc.), Fabulous Ronettes excelled by enduring the era. This was the music of the late 50's and early 60's, namely for those older folk clinging onto a classiness and conservatism revolutionary acts like Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones aimed to move past. The Ronettes, therefore, were very much rooted in rooting themselves. From the get-go, on 'Walking In The Rain,' the trio (really, quartet including Spektor) establish their moralistic high ground. Each and every song is, essentially, about a woman doing her due diligence to finding a man and loving him unconditionally. The excessiveness illusion of affection works as enlightenment for how women were treated in that era; as housewives meant to service the working male. While genres of music can come back in style (there's still Indie groups to this day who dabble in Brill Building), an album like Fabulous Ronettes will never, ever happen again, if only for the exorbitant regression the submissive lyrics contain. The album acts, simultaneously, as a history lessen for how far gender equality has come.
With the aesthetic of Fabulous Ronettes taking precedent over everything else, it's easy to look past the successes of the music itself. This is, after all, the reason why The Ronettes initially drew fame, not because of the reason I'm lured in; nostalgia and a fascination with their cultural principles. Thanks to Phil Spector's production, the sound of Fabulous Ronettes is stunning. Much has been said about his style and approach, essentially laying the groundwork for what Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys would profit on for the next decade. Brill Building through an uncomplicated Pop lens. Every song, apart from the live rendition of 'What'd I Say,' adheres to a singular idea. Use Veronica as a template for the candid, lonely housewife, swelling her vocals in excitement like a dog would act when its human has come home, add a barrage of systematic instrumentation that sounds like the harmonious simmering and clanging of various laundry room appliances, and layer it all with undemanding background vocals that make it easy to sing along, while easing concerns that you're not alone. The stumbling block of that previous sentence no contention to how effortless Spektor and the girls make it sound in music form.
Enough aggrandizing, let's get into the specifics. Of course, 'Be My Baby' gets, and deserves, all the praise. Accounts that it's one of the greatest compositions ever aren't so far-fetched, the brimming approach to orchestration, pace, and vocals about as close to perfection as one will witness. However, while it is indeed the standout track, the surrounding eleven cuts aren't disposable. On '(The Best Part Of) Breakin' Up' and 'I Wonder,' The Ronettes exhibit dominance over their self-sufficient harmonizing. With 'Walking In The Rain' and 'So Young,' Veronica sets herself apart with formidable vocals that present femininity without leaning on a crutch or squeak. Tracks like 'Baby, I Love You' and 'Chapel Of Love' can be seen as the Phil Spector show, with dazzling arrangements and sterling progression. There's even 'How Does It Feel?' and 'When I Saw You,' two instances of opposing emotion, substantiating that the quartet's capable of anything. However, what they do best is sprayed all across Fabulous Ronettes, an album that's far more than just a nostalgic bender. From every angle, The Ronettes' only traditional LP is a time capsule that can explain the past and be admired in the future.
