Oklahoma Battery Stewardship Act Creates Battery Recycling Program
Summary
Oklahoma HB1907, the Battery Stewardship Act, has passed both chambers of the legislature. The bill creates a comprehensive battery stewardship program requiring manufacturers, retailers, and other stakeholders to participate in proper battery collection and disposal. The legislation defines key terms related to battery stewardship and establishes regulatory requirements for battery end-of-life management in Oklahoma.
What changed
HB1907 enacts the Oklahoma Battery Stewardship Act, establishing a regulatory framework for battery collection and disposal. The bill defines 'battery', 'stewardship', 'producer', and 'recycling' for purposes of the program. Key requirements include producer responsibility for end-of-life battery management and retailer participation in collection networks.
Battery manufacturers and retailers selling products in Oklahoma will face new compliance obligations under this program. Affected parties should engage with the Oklahoma Energy Committee as implementing regulations are developed to ensure stewardship plans meet statutory requirements and registration deadlines.
What to do next
- Manufacturers of batteries sold in Oklahoma should review HB1907 requirements for stewardship program participation
- Retailers selling batteries should prepare for collection program obligations under the new law
- Monitor for Oklahoma Energy Committee implementing regulations and effective date announcements
