Summary

The bill eliminates Chapter 23‑90, which created a statewide system for collecting, recycling and reusing discarded mattresses. It removes the obligations on mattress producers, retailers, municipalities and other covered entities, as well as the associated stewardship fee and council. The change could alter how mattresses are disposed of and who pays for that disposal.
