Creates provisions relating to a battery recycling

Summary

The bill would require anyone who manufactures, distributes, or sells certain rechargeable batteries in Missouri to join a nonprofit organization that runs a state‑wide battery recycling program. It would prohibit charging consumers a fee for recycling and forbid disposing of those batteries in regular trash or curbside recycling, directing them to approved collection sites instead. The aim is to boost battery collection rates and ensure safe handling of used batteries.
