Bloomberg Law: Landmark California Plastics Law's Anniversary Brings Progress
Lawmakers are considering additional bills to complement the legislation, according to SB 54 sponsor Sen. Ben Allen (D). These include extended producer responsibility for areas such as electric vehicle batteries, textiles, aerosol paint, and solar panels.

There are similar measures in the current legislative session to clarify how plastics are defined. “There’s a lot of work happening now,” Allen said. “I’m pleased with the progress we’ve made so far.”
