A 6381 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the health and environmental impacts of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, and the manufacturing thereof

This bill requires New York's environmental department to develop and distribute public educational materials about the health and environmental impacts of lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles, specifically addressing effects on air, water, and soil. It mandates that these materials be posted on the department's website, covering topics like pollution risks and health concerns linked to battery manufacturing and use. The law applies directly to the public and the department, focusing solely on raising awareness through accessible information. It does not impose new regulations on manufacturers or alter existing pollution standards. This is a procedural education measure, not a policy change affecting businesses or emissions limits.
