Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) was signed into law in September 2016 setting statewide methane reduction targets, although regulations were not finalized until November 2020. The targets include requirements to reduce organic waste sent to landfills and rescue edible food. These requirements were effective on January 1, 2022. In light of the challenges facing local jurisdictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Senate Bill 619 (SB 619) was signed into law allowing local jurisdictions relief from civil penalties for calendar year 2022.
