MINOR

This bill update primarily changes the effective year for mercury thermostat collection program requirements from 2025 to 2026, adjusts the bill's committee status, and reorganizes the definitions section by renumbering items. The substantive policy requirements remain the same, but the timeline for compliance has been extended by one year.

Scope change

No change in the bill's scope or applicability; it still applies to mercury thermostat manufacturers and collection programs in New York State.

TIMELINE

The deadline for thermostat manufacturers to submit collection program plans was changed from one hundred eighty days after the 2025 law chapter to one hundred eighty days after the 2026 law chapter, effectively extending the compliance deadline by one year.

PROCEDURE

The bill's committee status was updated to reflect that it was discharged, amended, and recommitted to the Committee on Environmental Conservation in accordance with Assembly Rule 3, section 2.

TECHNICAL

The definitions section was renumbered and reorganized, moving the 'Contractor' definition to a new position and adjusting the numbering of subsequent definitions, though the actual definition text remained unchanged.
