Concerning postconsumer recycled content requirements for plastic products.

The mandatory start date for recycled content requirements for rigid plastic containers and roll carts was delayed from January 1, 2029, to January 1, 2030.

The expiration date for the study on plastic resin markets was extended from 2029 to 2033.

The definition of 'PCRC 2.0 product' was updated to explicitly allow caps, lids, labels, and handles made of nonplastic materials, whereas previously the container had to be comprised solely of plastic resins.

The definition of 'covered product' was broadened to include human drugs, medical devices, and dietary supplements, expanding the scope of items subject to federal preemption analysis.

The term 'PCRC product' was replaced with 'postconsumer recycled content product' throughout the text to align terminology and ensure clarity.

A new subsection was added to the 'Producer' definition to address how responsibility is assigned for items covered under the separate plastic bag fee program (Chapter 70A.208).

The penalty calculation formula was adjusted, changing the fee per pound of non-compliant plastic from 40 cents to 30 cents.

The requirement for state agencies to purchase compliant recycled content products was updated to specify that producers must be awarded on master contracts.
