This bill creates a producer responsibility program for lubricants waste and packaging that aren't already covered by existing regulations. It requires a producer responsibility organization (PRO) to manage the collection and safe disposal of covered liquid products (like motor oil and antifreeze) and covered packaging products (containers for those products). The PRO will register with the state, develop a plan, and ultimately be responsible for ensuring these materials are properly managed, funded, and recycled or disposed of.
