AI Summary

This bill requires producers of architectural paint sold in Massachusetts to establish a postconsumer paint collection program. The program must provide convenient and cost-effective statewide collection of postconsumer paint, using environmentally sound management practices for recycling, energy recovery, and disposal. Producers must include the program's per-container cost in the price of paint sold, and retailers cannot sell paint unless the producer has an approved program in place. The bill also requires annual reporting on the program's activities and costs, and protects producers from certain antitrust liabilities related to the program.
