An act relating to household products containing hazardous substances

This bill requires manufacturers of household products containing hazardous substances to establish stewardship organizations that collect these products from consumers at no cost. The legislation defines covered products as consumer items that contain hazardous waste or are gas cylinders, while excluding common items like batteries, paints, and pharmaceuticals. Manufacturers with sales under $5,000 annually are exempt from these requirements. The program aims to reduce hazardous waste disposal in landfills, lower management costs for waste facilities, and protect public health and the environment.
