Establishes a battery recycling program in Michigan, setting collection and recycling goals.

The bill amends Michigan's environmental protection laws to establish a battery recycling program. It defines terms such as "battery," "battery-containing product," and "stewardship organization." The program sets performance goals for collection rates, recycling efficiency, and public awareness. Stewardship organizations or independent producers can bring civil actions against producers who fail to meet collection obligations or sell recalled, damaged, or defective batteries. The program aims to increase the rate of battery recycling in the state.
