Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
415 ILCS 5/22.23d rep.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Creates the Portable and Medium-Format Battery Stewardship Act (rather than the Portable Battery Stewardship Act). Requires those who sell, offer for sale, or distribute (rather than only sell or distribute), covered batteries or battery-containing products containing one or more covered batteries in or into the State to implement and participate in a battery stewardship plan. Makes changes to provisions regarding timelines for covered batteries, as well as timelines for battery stewardship organizations to submit plans to the Agency for approval. Provides that the Illinois Pollution Control Board (rather than the Agency) may adopt rules regarding certain labeling requirements. Repeals a provision regarding rechargeable batteries in the Environmental Protection Act. Changes some defined terms and removes some defined terms.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill, as amended by Senate Committee Amendment No. 1, with the following changes. Corrects grammatical mistakes and makes technical changes.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Defines "agency-sponsored household battery recycling program", "battery stewardship program", and "motor vehicle". In the definition of "covered battery", provides that "covered battery" does not include a battery that is a component of a motor vehicle or intended for use exclusively in motor vehicles. In a provision regarding battery stewardship plan components, provides that the plan shall be reviewed based on whether it includes a list of collection sites supported by the battery stewardship program, including the address of collection sites supported by the battery stewardship program (rather than a list of collection sites, including the address of collection sites), among other requirements. In a provision requiring a battery stewardship organization to provide plan amendments to the Environmental Protection Agency for certain purposes, provides that this does not include the addition or removal of a collection location to the battery stewardship program because of changes to an Agency-sponsored household battery recycling program. Provides that certain collection location requirements may be satisfied by collection locations participating in an Agency-sponsored household battery recycling program. Provides that a battery stewardship organization shall ensure the minimum number of collection sites are established by no later than December 31, 2028 (rather than December 31, 2026 for portable batteries and by no later than December 31, 2028 for medium-format batteries). Provides that, in the event that the Agency receives funding to support an Agency-sponsored household battery recycling program that operates concurrently with the Battery Stewardship Program, the costs of collecting and managing batteries through the Agency-sponsored household battery recycling program shall not be the responsibility of the battery stewardship organization.
