Summary

The bill would make it illegal for Indiana retailers to sell covered batteries or products containing them unless the battery’s producer is a member of an approved battery‑stewardship organization and the battery is approved under a state‑sanctioned stewardship plan. It creates a new fund for the environmental department, lets stewardship groups recover collection costs, and exempts participants from state antitrust law. The measure failed and was sent back to the Ways and Means Committee.
