Bill Summary
This bill appropriates to the Department of Natural Resources all moneys received by DNR as fees from battery stewardship organizations, as required in a separate bill. If that bill is not enacted into law, this bill is void. For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a dedicated funding stream for battery collection and recycling programs within the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Specifically, it appropriates all moneys received by the DNR from fees collected from battery stewardship organizations, as mandated by a separate, related bill (referred to as "battery stewardship organizations" which are entities responsible for managing batteries at the end of their life). This appropriation is contingent on that separate bill being enacted into law; if it is not, then this current bill becomes void. The bill also creates a new section in the statutes (20.370 (4) (ht)) to formalize this appropriation from the environmental fund for the battery collection and recycling program.
