Summary

The bill adds a new section to the Public Resources Code that removes certain state organic‑waste rules from agricultural crop preparation services that can prove they have not sent organic waste to a landfill since Jan. 1, 2016. It affects farms and businesses that prep crops for market, letting them avoid the food‑recovery contracts and record‑keeping required of other food generators. The change aims to relieve these services from compliance burdens while still supporting the state’s broader methane‑reduction goals.
