HB1907

Oklahoma HB1907 creates the Battery Stewardship Act to manage the collection and recycling of covered batteries.

Oklahoma HB1907, the Battery Stewardship Act, mandates producers to submit battery stewardship plans to the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality. These plans must include performance goals, collection facilities, and education programs. Producers must operate under an approved plan by January 1, 2027, and cannot sell covered batteries without compliance. The act defines covered batteries, sets collection and recycling targets, and allows for producer reimbursement for uncollected batteries. It also establishes penalties for improper disposal and requires annual reporting and audits.
