Committee advances dashboard bill to track illegal-dumping cleanup efforts
Summary
CB42 would require the Office of Community Relations to publish a public dashboard showing county illegal‑dumping and cleanup data; staff proposed delaying the bill's effective date from 45 days to six months and the committee voted to move the bill favorably.
Chair Oriaga introduced CB42, the Clean Communities Transparency Dashboard Act of 2026, which would require the Office of Community Relations to create and maintain an open‑data dashboard documenting illegal dumping and county cleanup efforts.
Josh Hamlin, staff member, told the committee the only proposed amendment is to change the effective date from 45 days after enactment to six months after enactment. The county executive's liaison said the executive is "favorable as amended." The committee voted to move the amendment favorably and then voted to move CB42 as amended out of committee (roll calls recorded in the transcript).
The change in effective date gives departments additional time to prepare data feeds and system updates before public dashboard publication. The committee's favorable recommendation sends the measure to the next public hearing and subsequent council consideration.
