MINOR

This bill was updated from a filed version to a committee substitute version, adding a committee name, changing the bill type designation, and most importantly, expanding the labeling requirements to include lithium batteries. The original version only required labeling for nickel-cadmium and lead batteries, while the updated version now requires 'Li' to be included for lithium batteries on product labels and in disposal instructions.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains the same regarding which battery types are regulated, but the labeling requirements now explicitly include lithium batteries in addition to nickel-cadmium and lead batteries.

REQUIREMENT

Expanded labeling requirements to include lithium batteries by adding 'Li' to the list of chemical composition indicators that must appear on product labels and in instruction manuals.

TECHNICAL

Added committee attribution (Committee on Commerce and Tourism) and changed bill designation from 'S 800' to 'CS for SB 800' indicating it is a committee substitute version.

Updated bill title section to include 'revising exceptions' and changed effective date notation from 'providing an effective date' to 'providing an effective date' with specific timestamp metadata.
