Prohibits the sale of used oil and establishes civil and criminal penalties
This bill prohibits the sale of used oil (from vehicles) to anyone except oil rerefining facilities. It directly affects auto shops, mechanics, and businesses that collect or handle used oil, banning their sale to the general public or for disposal in landfills. Key provisions include civil penalties up to $1,000 per violation for selling used oil and criminal penalties for knowing violations, including fines up to $18,000 or up to one year in jail. The law also bans selling "used oil disposal kits" meant for trash disposal, requiring proper recycling instead.
