This bill creates record keeping and reporting requirements for entities that purchase or accept second-use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that power devices such as e-bikes and electric scooters. The entities would be required to maintain and submit records to the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP), on information pertaining to the number and type of rechargeable batteries purchased or accepted and how such rechargeable batteries were disposed of. Additionally, all records would be made available to the Department of Sanitation and Fire Department upon request; and DCWP would be required to submit an annual report summarizing information gathered pursuant to this law.
