Bill > SB936

This bill creates a post-consumer paint recycling program in Missouri. The key provisions include: - Producers of architectural paint sold at retail in Missouri must establish or join a representative organization to develop and submit a plan to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the establishment of a post-consumer paint collection program. The program aims to reduce paint waste, promote reuse and recycling, and use environmentally sound management practices. - The plan must detail things like participating producers and brands, paint collection sites and goals, how paint will be managed, and education and outreach efforts. A per-container "paint assessment fee" will be added to the price of paint to cover the program's costs. - The DNR will review and approve the plan, establish an administrative fee for producers, and enforce the program. Retailers cannot sell paint unless the producer is participating in the program. - Generators of household waste and conditionally exempt small quantity generators can transport architectural paint to collection sites. Collection sites can store the paint without certain regulatory requirements. - The DNR can promulgate rules to administer the program.
