The California State Assembly on June 4, 2025, concurred in Senate amendments to Assembly Bill 1478, a measure that would allow retailers to absorb mattress recycling fees rather than passing those costs to consumers.
Assemblymember Hoover presented AB 1478 on concurrence, describing the measure as returning with "minor technical amendments" and saying the bill would "simply allow retailers to absorb mattress recycling fees instead of passing these fees on to consumers." Hoover asked colleagues for an aye vote.
The clerk recorded the roll call: 63 Aye, 0 No. Senate amendments were concurred in and the Assembly passed the measure on concurrence.
The transcript records no on-floor amendments or objections. The change affects how retailers may treat an existing recycling fee; the bill text will determine whether any enforcement or reporting obligations apply.
