Adopts the Environmental Stewardship of Batteries Act, the Extended Producer Responsibility Data Collection Act, and the Minimum Recycled Content.

LB607 adopts the Environmental Stewardship of Batteries Act, the Extended Producer Responsibility Data Collection Act, and the Minimum Recycled Content Act, and amends existing laws in Nebraska. The Environmental Stewardship of Batteries Act requires producers of covered batteries to participate in a battery stewardship plan, ensuring collection, recycling, and proper disposal of batteries. The Extended Producer Responsibility Data Collection Act mandates producers to register with the Department of Environment and Energy and pay fees to fund the Waste Reduction and Recycling Incentive Fund.
