ColoradoProducer Responsibility Dues Appeals Process
What it does
The producer responsibility program for statewide recycling (program) provides recycling services to covered entities in the state and is financed through annual dues assessed against producers of products that use packaging materials and paper products (producers). The bill reaffirms the authority of the solid and hazardous waste commission in the department of public health and environment (department) to direct an appeals process whereby producers may contest the program dues assessed against them by requesting a hearing before the producer responsibility program for statewide recycling advisory board (advisory board). If a producer requests a hearing before the advisory board, the advisory board is required to hold the hearing and issue written recommendations to the department as to whether the dues assessed against the producer should be adjusted.
More detail
The department is required to make a determination whether to approve or reject the advisory board's recommendations regarding the assessed dues within 45 days after receiving the advisory board's recommendations on the matter. The department's determination is a final agency action subject to judicial review.(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
