MINOR
The bill was amended to reflect its progression through the legislative process, adding co-sponsors and updating the effective date for the mercury thermostat collection program from 2025 to 2026. The substantive definitions and program requirements remain consistent with the original version, though the timeline for manufacturers to submit collection plans has been extended by one year.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding mercury thermostat collection remains unchanged; however, the applicability timeline was adjusted to align with the 2025-2026 legislative session.
TIMELINE
The deadline for thermostat manufacturers to submit collection plans was extended from 180 days after the 2025 effective date to 180 days after the 2026 effective date.
SCOPE
The bill was amended to include Senator Kavanagh as a co-sponsor and updated procedural text to reflect that the bill has been recommitted to the Committee on Environmental Conservation after committee discharge.
