The Honorable Bill Quirk Member, California State Assembly State Capitol, Room 2163 Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: Assembly Bill 246 – SUPPORT As Introduced January 13, 2021
Dear Assembly Member Quirk:
On behalf of the Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC), I am writing to express our support for your Assembly Bill 246 regarding illegal dumping. RCRC is an association of thirty-seven rural California counties, and the RCRC Board of Directors is comprised of elected supervisors from each member county.
Illegal dumping continues to be a serious problem in many parts of the state, especially in unincorporated rural areas. Local governments spend a considerable amount of money each year responding to and cleaning up illegally disposed waste.
AB 246 allows the Contractors State License Board to take disciplinary action against a contractor for violating state or local laws prohibiting illegal dumping. AB 246 provides another important tool in the toolbox to discourage illegal dumping and punish those who violate state and local illegal dumping laws.
For the above reasons, RCRC supports your AB 246. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected].
Sincerely,
JOHN KENNEDY Legislative Advocate 1215 K Street, Suite 1650, Sacramento, CA 95814 | www.rcrcnet.org | 916.447.4806 | Fax: 916.448.3154
