Dear Governor Newsom, Secretary Coloretti, Secretary Garcia, and Director Heller,

Enacting SB 54 demonstrated our state’s leadership role in tackling the plastic pollution crisis and ensuring producers share the responsibility for the end-of-life management costs of the single-use materials they generate. We recognize that enacting SB 54 was just the first step in the long and important implementation process, and we appreciate the work that has gone into developing the regulations thus far.




Dear Pro Tem McGuire:

In advance of the release of the Governor’s May Revise, we understand that the State likely will face a significant budget deficit. Collectively, we will need to carefully weigh our decisions to ensure that we cause the least harm to Californians and protect core investments that serve our constituents.




Dear Governor Newsom,

The passage of SB 54 was a remarkable achievement for California that cemented our state’s leadership role in reducing plastic pollution and ensuring producers of consumer products take responsibility for the end-of-life management of their food service ware and packaging. We acknowledge that while passing the measure was a major milestone, much work lay ahead as California began implementing the law. We support the Department’s proposed regulations and urge their timely adoption.

Dear Governor Newsom,

We, the undersigned legislators, are devastated to see the Oceanside Pier severely damaged by fire on Thursday, April 25, 2024. Since the late 19th century, the Oceanside Pier has served as a landmark of our coastal identity and maritime heritage in Southern California.




Dear Secretary Omishakin:
