Requires paint producers to implement or participate in paint stewardship program.

This New Jersey bill requires paint producers to implement or join a statewide program for managing leftover architectural paint (interior and exterior coatings sold in 5-gallon containers or less), with fees included in paint prices to fund the program. The program must provide convenient statewide collection of unused paint (ensuring 90% of residents have access within 15 miles), promote reuse and recycling, and follow a waste management hierarchy prioritizing source reduction. Retailers cannot sell paint unless the producer has an approved program, and producers must submit annual reports to the Department of Environmental Protection. The program must be amended within 5-6 years to include aerosol paint.
