Bill > HB3433

This bill amends Oregon's existing Bottle Bill to include wine bottles in the state's beverage container deposit and recycling program, expanding the types of containers subject to refund requirements. Specifically, the bill adds wine containers to the list of beverage containers covered by the law, with a phased implementation approach. Starting July 1, 2025, wine cans will be included in the program with a 10-cent refund value, and starting July 1, 2026, wine bottles will also be added. The bill modifies existing provisions to allow wine containers to comply with refund value labeling requirements through scannable codes on smartphones, and provides temporary exemptions for wine containers filled and labeled before specific dates. Additionally, the bill allows the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission to prepare rules and take necessary actions in advance of the law's implementation. The changes are designed to encourage recycling of wine containers and align them with existing regulations for other beverage types, with the goal of reducing waste and promoting environmental sustainability.
