Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act: California Plastic Pollution Mitigation Fund.

Summary

The bill adds two new sections to the Public Resources Code that require every dollar taken from the state’s Plastic Pollution Mitigation Fund to improve public or environmental health, prioritize the most impacted communities, and include outreach and community engagement. It also limits research spending to 15% of the fund and standardizes the grant‑application process for agencies using the money. The changes aim to make the fund’s investments more targeted, transparent, and effective.
