S 8261 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Extends provisions relating to the establishment of the mercury thermostat collection act

This bill extends the deadline for New York's mercury thermostat collection program from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 2027. It directly affects the mercury thermostat collection act, which governs the safe disposal of mercury-containing thermostats. The key provision simply changes the expiration date in the law to provide an additional year for the program to operate. The bill does not alter the program's requirements or scope.
