What’s in it
This bill relates to acceptance of beverage containers by dealers and redemption centers. Current law allows a consumer to take an eligible beverage container to a dealer, dealer agent, or a redemption center and receive a 5-cent refund for every eligible beverage container that the consumer returns. The bill allows a dealer to refuse to accept beverage containers for redemption after providing notice to the department of natural resources. The bill eliminates the approval process for a redemption center and instead requires all redemption centers to provide a written notice of operation to the department.
