Bill overview
This bill creates a program in Massachusetts to manage lithium-ion batteries, which are commonly found in electric vehicles and electronics.

It establishes a framework for collection, processing, and responsible handling of used lithium-ion batteries throughout their lifecycle. This legislation builds on previous efforts to establish stewardship programs for other hazardous materials.
