CA AB2481

Expands eligibility for glass beverage container quality incentive payments beyond current recipients (curbside recycling programs and certified entities) to include manufacturers of fiberglass insulation in California that use glass cullet

Allows the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery to distribute remaining quality incentive funds to additional entities at the end of each calendar year, after first disbursing payments for glass beverage container manufacturing

Maintains existing quality incentive payment rates: up to $60 per ton for glass, up to $180 per ton for plastic, and up to $125 per ton for aluminum beverage containers

Draws from the existing $15,000,000 annual continuous appropriation from the California Beverage Container Recycling Fund for quality incentive payments

Requires a two-thirds legislative vote due to authorizing a new use for continuously appropriated funds
