SB 1383 Model Tools - What are They and How they Can Help You
To comply with SB 1383 regulations, jurisdictions and other entities will be drafting new agreements, ordinances, and policies or amending existing ones. This presentation will introduce you to four SB 1383 Implementation Tools that were produced for CalRecycle by HF&H Consultants, in conjunction with Diversion Strategies and Debra Kaufman Consulting. The SB 1383 tools, which will be available for use by jurisdictions and other entities, include: a model franchise agreement; a model mandatory organics disposal reduction ordinance; a model organic waste product procurement policy; and, a model edible food recovery agreement. Each tool provides example provisions for use to develop new agreements, ordinances, and/or policies, or to amend existing ones. The presentation will highlight key provisions of each tool and describe how users can navigate each model tool. The audience will gain an understanding of how the models can help entities achieve compliance and the various customizable provisions within the models that users can use to fit their needs.
