Existing law establishes the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act, which is administered by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, to promote beverage container recycling. The act requires each glass container manufacturer to use a minimum percentage of 35 percent of postfilled glass in the manufacturing of glass food, drink, or beverage containers.

The act defines cullet as postconsumer glass from food, drink, or beverage containers, or any other glass not generated by fiberglass manufacturing. The act requires the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery to refer to the Attorney General, for prosecution for fraud, a person providing a fiberglass manufacturer with false or misleading information concerning the recycled content of glass cullet, within 30 days of making that determination.This bill would extend the time period for which the department would be required to refer an action for fraud to the Attorney General to within 45 days of the departments determination.
