AI Summary

This bill requires the establishment of recycling programs for ionization smoke detectors. It establishes a system where smoke detector wholesalers and retailers must act as collection sites for these devices, and manufacturers must provide collection containers and set up a program to collect, transport, and properly manage the collected ionization smoke detectors, which may include recycling. The bill also requires education and outreach efforts by manufacturers to promote the availability of collection containers and the importance of properly managing out-of-service ionization smoke detectors. Additionally, the Department of Environmental Protection is required to assess and evaluate the collection and recycling program after the first calendar year and report its findings, including any recommendations for legislation.
