California AB864 amends hazardous waste regulations to manage solar photovoltaic modules more effectively.

California AB864 modifies the handling of solar photovoltaic modules under hazardous waste regulations. It designates modules that can be resold, reused, or refurbished as surplus material. The bill tasks the department with developing alternative management standards for these modules, facilitating greater material recovery. It also allows the department to designate end-of-life photovoltaic modules as universal waste and subject them to universal waste management. The bill sets deadlines for public workshops and evaluations to consider federal regulations for these modules.
