Senate Bill 966<http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/07-08/bill/sen/sb_0951-1000/sb_966_bill_20071012_chaptered.html> required CalRecycle to work with agencies including the Department of Toxic Substances Control, the State Water Resources Control Board, and the California State Board of Pharmacy to develop criteria and procedures<http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/HomeHazWaste/Medications/ModelProgram/Criteria.pdf> for model pharmaceutical waste collection programs by December 2008.  SB 966 also requires CalRecycle to analyze model programs for effectiveness, cost, accessibility, and safety.  These findings must be included with recommendations in a report to the Legislature by December 2010.
