Bill > S07597

This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law to require electronic cigarette manufacturers to submit plans to the Commissioner of Environmental Conservation regarding the collection, transportation, and recycling of electronic cigarettes. Manufacturers must accept the return of used electronic cigarettes from registered vapor product dealers for recycling, and submit annual reports on the amount of electronic cigarettes received and recycled. The Commissioner must approve or reject the manufacturers' plans within specified timelines. The bill also requires manufacturers to educate consumers on proper recycling of electronic cigarettes.
