Recommended Action/Motion:
recommendation
Ratify letter of support for Assembly Bill 993: Rural Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) reimbursement program.
End
Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The Board of Supervisors regularly issues support letters that align with the 2025 Legislative Platform. These letters advocate for adequate and ongoing federal and state funding, timely distribution of resources, increased local authority, and flexibility in administering and providing services.
Summary of Request:
Existing law requires the Secretary for Environmental Protection to adopt regulations and implement a unified hazardous waste and hazardous materials management regulatory program. A city or local agency that meets specified requirements is authorized to apply to the secretary to implement the unified program, and every county is required to apply to the secretary to be certified to implement the unified program as a Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA). Existing law establishes the Rural CUPA Reimbursement Account in the General Fund, and requires the Secretary for Environmental Protection to allocate funds to counties with populations of less than 150,000 persons for which a CUPA has not been certified on or before January 1, 2000, in amounts not to exceed designated percentages of budgeted costs, and not more than $60,000 in total for all CUPAs in an eligible county. This bill would make every county with a population of less than 150,000 persons eligible for these funds without regard to the date of certification. The bill would increase the maximum total amount that may be allocated for all CUPAs in a single county from $60,000 to $100,000.
