Paint product recovery program: paint recovery: education and outreach.

Summary

AB 1304 amends California law to obligate paint makers to develop a program that collects, transports, and recycles leftover paint. It also makes education and outreach on proper paint use and disposal mandatory, and ties those efforts to training apprentices and journeypainters. The goal is to cut landfill waste, lower environmental impact, and build a skilled future workforce.
