Nebraska LB309, the Safe Battery Collection and Recycling Act, mandates that producers and retailers of covered batteries must be members of a battery stewardship organization with an approved plan. The act prohibits the sale of covered batteries unless the producer is part of such an organization. It outlines specific duties for battery stewardship organizations, including collection, recycling, and education efforts. The act also sets penalties for violations and establishes a Battery Stewardship Cash Fund to support these efforts.
