AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•The word 'site' means the same thing as 'facility' in this law.
•The meaning of 'facility' comes from a federal law (a big rule from the U.S. government).
•This rule started on January 1, 2023, but it really kicks in on January 1, 2024.

Example

Imagine a big factory that makes toys. The factory is called a 'facility' in the big U.S. rules.

In this California law, if they say 'site,' they mean the same thing as that toy factory. So, 'site' = 'facility' = the toy factory.
