Revises provisions of "Dry Cell Battery Management Act."
This bill revises New Jersey's Dry Cell Battery Management Act to update rules for disposing of specific batteries. It defines "covered batteries" (including portable, medium-format, and rechargeable types) while excluding medical device batteries, lead acid batteries over 11 pounds, vehicle batteries, and recalled batteries. The law directly affects retailers, distributors, and institutions that handle large volumes of these batteries, requiring proper disposal under the updated framework. Key changes clarify definitions and exclusions to streamline battery management and reduce regulatory burden for excluded categories. The bill amends existing law and repeals two sections, but does not create new disposal requirements.
