Status: in_force

It is the intent of the Legislature to encourage the unit pricing of all canned, bottled, and packaged foods, packaged produce, and bakery goods; paper, plastic, wood, and metal products packaged in counts greater than 10; rolled paper, plastic, and metal products; canned, bottled, and packaged domestic, laundry and household cleansing, finishing, waxing, and polishing products; drug and first aid products canned, packaged, or bottled in counts greater than 10; and frozen fruits and vegetables, offered by merchants in their places of business for sale at retail to the public. The Legislature finds that unit pricing, the price per ounce, per pound, per gallon, or the metric equivalent thereof, or per 100 square feet, or per 100 count, for which those items are offered for sale at retail, effectively informs the consumer of the comparative prices and values of commodities, and is thus useful for the formulation of intelligent consumer choices. Reconstituted fluid ounce is the preferred unit of measure for unit pricing of powdered and concentrated infant formula.

Section 15300
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds that:

(a) Elderly persons, like any other persons, prefer to remain in their own homes rather than in dependent living situations, including long-term care facilities.

(b) Many elderly persons, with a minimal to moderate amount of supportive services, mainly nonmedical in character, could maintain themselves at home; others, with slightly more support and perhaps day care supervision, could remain in independent living situations or homes of relatives or friends. Yet it is just this nonmedical, nontechnical level of supportive services that is largely unavailable to the vast majority of old persons.

(c) Most elderly persons living on fixed incomes cannot afford private help or the cost of home health or homemaker agencies; elderly low-income public assistance recipients can receive such care only in limited circumstances under welfare cash grant attendant care or homemaker programs.

(d) Supportive personal and social care in many cases enables the elderly to maintain a state of health that decreases or postpones the need for health care.

(e) Reducing or postponing the need for health care is not only beneficial to the elderly individual’s general welfare but also results in economic savings both to the individual, his or her family, and the people of California in cases where the elderly person is also a recipient of public assistance or potentially in need of public funds through cash grants, Medi-Cal, or use of state or county facilities.

(f) Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act are largely concerned with crisis or short-term care; there are no adequate programs, public or private, which financially assist the elderly person to maintain his independence, health and mobility at home.

Section 42861
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares the following:

(a) The problem posed by used tire storage and disposal requires a comprehensive, statewide response, including, but not limited to, reducing landfill disposal of used whole tires, recycling of tires into secondary uses, source material development and promotion of secondary markets for used tire byproducts, tire shredding, and energy recovery.

(b) California is currently faced with an existing used tire inventory of at least 100 million tires, an amount which grows by over 20 million tires per year. Without a dedication of resources to address the state’s growing tire population, the health and safety of all Californians will be increasingly at risk.

(c) There are currently no dedicated resources for the recycling of used tires, or a comprehensive tire shredding program. Therefore, the levying of a fee on the disposal of used whole tires in the state is needed to support tire recycling activities.

(d) Used tires represent a valuable state resource which should be reclaimed and recycled whenever possible. An abundance of tire recycling alternatives exist which have been demonstrated to be environmentally safe. These alternatives need to be promoted in order to achieve the maximum use of used tires.

(e) Shredding of used tires represents a preferable alternative to whole tire storage or disposal. Given the rapidly decreasing amount of landfill space available to local jurisdictions, shredding represents a positive way of storing tires until a secondary use can be developed.
