What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law prohibits a person from disposing of a lead acid battery, including

a motor vehicle battery, by placing it in a landfill or incinerating it. Current law

requires anyone who sells a lead acid battery to a person who will use the battery (a

consumer) and who installs the battery to accept the consumer's used battery.

Current law also requires a person who sells a lead acid battery to a consumer

without installing the battery to offer to take the used battery in trade. The law

prohibits a person from charging a consumer a deposit of more than $5 on the sale

of a lead acid battery.

This bill requires a person who sells a consumer a replacement lead acid battery

of the kind used in motor vehicles to charge a deposit of $10.
