Environment; creating the Battery Stewardship Act; defining terms; effective date.
HB 1907, the Battery Stewardship Act, requires producers of batteries weighing over 11 pounds (including vehicle batteries) to create and manage recycling programs. It grants producers and their stewardship organizations immunity from antitrust laws when planning, reporting, and operating these programs. The bill also allows private collectors to run independent battery collection services (like household drop-offs) if they follow environmental rules and send collected batteries to approved stewardship organizations. This directly affects battery manufacturers, vehicle dealers, and recycling organizations in Oklahoma.
