The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) is seeking feedback from the public, the regulated community, and other interested persons on draft regulatory language to clarify existing language and implement new requirements established by Assembly Bill (AB) 1526 (Committee on Natural Resources, Chapter 848, Statutes of 2023) and Senate Bill (SB) 1143 (Allen, Chapter 989, Statutes of 2024).

These proposed regulations would implement the statutory addition of aerosol coating products, nonindustrial coatings, and coating-related products into the Architectural Paint Recovery Program, which was renamed the Paint Product Recovery Program.

A copy of the draft proposed regulations is available for review at the link below. We invite all interested parties to submit comments and feedback by July 9, 2025, using the link provided.

Please note that under the California Public Records Act (Government Code section 7920.000 et seq.), your written and oral comments, attachments, and associated contact information (e.g., your address, phone number, email address, etc.) become part of the public record and can be released to the public upon request.
