A bill for an act providing for the implementation of battery stewardship plans, making appropriations, and providing penalties.

Summary

The bill creates a statewide battery stewardship program that defines covered batteries, producers, retailers, and collection sites. Starting in 2028, any covered battery or battery‑containing product sold in Iowa must be sold by a producer that follows a department‑approved plan and must carry producer identification; by 2029, the battery must also be labeled with its chemistry for proper recycling. The measure aims to increase collection and recycling rates while holding producers accountable.
