The passage of AB 2398 in California means new responsibilities for carpet retailers. As of July 1, 2011, there will be a $0.05/sq. yd. Carpet Stewardship Assessment fee placed on all carpet sold into the state of California. Retailers must include the $0.05/sq yd Carpet Stewardship Assessment fee as an after-tax line item on the customer invoice starting July 1, 2011.

From details on how the assessment fee is to appear on invoices to who will be eligible to receive the funds collected, this webinar will provide retailers and others with the necessary information to comply with California State Law AB 2398.
