Establishes "Electric Vehicle Battery Recycling Task Force" to study ways to safely store, reuse, recycle, and dispose of used electric vehicle batteries.

This bill establishes a 12-member Electric Vehicle Battery Recycling Task Force within New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection. The task force will study safe storage, reuse, recycling, and disposal methods for used electric vehicle batteries, analyzing current data, international programs, and recycling infrastructure needs. It must develop recommendations - including potential legislation - to improve the state's battery recycling system within two years, while also exploring second-life uses for batteries retaining 70% capacity. The task force includes state officials, EV manufacturers, recyclers, academics, and environmental experts, with a public reporting requirement to the Governor and Legislature. This is a study-focused effort, not a new law, aiming to address growing needs as electric vehicle adoption increases.
