CA AB1325

Creates the Lubricant and Waste Oil Producer Responsibility Act of 2025, requiring producers of petroleum-based automotive products (antifreeze, engine oils, transmission fluids, greases, and their packaging) to establish a producer responsibility organization (PRO) to manage collection, transportation, and safe disposal of these products at no cost to residents or local governments

Mandates CalRecycle and DTSC to adopt implementing regulations with an effective date no earlier than July 1, 2028, and requires the PRO to submit a producer responsibility plan within 12 months of the regulations' effective date

Establishes performance targets requiring the PRO to reduce improper disposal or dumping of covered products by 20% by 2032 and 40% by 2035, measured against a baseline to be determined by CalRecycle

Requires the PRO to reimburse local jurisdictions for costs associated with collecting illegally dumped covered products and to fund a comprehensive statewide education and outreach program for consumers

Imposes civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day ($50,000 for intentional violations) on producers and others who violate the program, and makes the existing California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act inoperative once the new producer responsibility program is fully implemented
