Summary
The bill eliminates Chapter 23‑24.12, which created a paint‑stewardship system that required producers, retailers and a nonprofit organization to manage post‑consumer paint. By repealing the chapter, all obligations for paint collection, recycling, stewardship assessments, and related education are removed, impacting paint manufacturers, sellers and the state environmental department.
