Interim Study Report: Recommended for Future Legislation 10/15/2026 (Vote 10-1; )
Summary
The bill would establish a state paint product stewardship program that obligates paint makers or a nonprofit they create to design and fund a system for collecting and managing post‑consumer paint. Retailers could sell paint in New Hampshire only if the maker is part of an approved plan, and collection sites would be voluntary and free to the public. The goal is to shift paint‑waste costs from local governments to manufacturers while ensuring environmentally sound handling.
