Bill > HB857

This bill requires producers of synthetic turf and turf infill sold or distributed in Maryland to establish a system to track the chain of custody of these materials from manufacture to installation, use, reuse, recycling, and final disposal by January 1, 2022. For existing synthetic turf and turf infill already installed in Maryland, the bill requires the owner to establish a system to track the chain of custody from use to reuse, recycling, and final disposal. The bill also prohibits the reuse of synthetic turf and turf infill unless the original owner submits a written request and the Department of the Environment approves it. The bill further requires the Department to publish the chain of custody information on its website.
