Summary
This bill reaffirms the authority of Colorado's solid and hazardous waste commission to oversee an appeals process for the producer responsibility program, which finances statewide recycling services through annual dues assessed against producers of products using packaging and paper materials. Producers may contest their assessed dues by requesting a hearing before the producer responsibility program advisory board. If a hearing is requested, the advisory board must hold the hearing and provide written recommendations to the department regarding whether the assessed dues should be adjusted. The department must make a final determination on the advisory board's recommendations within 45 days, and this determination is subject to judicial review.
