Committee forwards two bill introduction requests including Safe Battery Collection Act
Summary
The Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources advanced two requests to introduce bills: RS2561 (Safe Battery Collection and Recycling Act), presented by Alex Orel for the National Waste and Recycling Association, and RS2884 (pesticide regulation), which the chair noted will be forwarded for introduction.
At the Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources meeting, Alex Orel of Citadel Public Affairs introduced RS2561, the Safe Battery Collection and Recycling Act, on behalf of the National Waste and Recycling Association. "I am Alex Orel with Citadel Public Affairs, introducing a bill on behalf of the National Waste and Recycling Association," he said while identifying the bill as RS2561. The chair asked if there were questions; seeing none, the chair moved to request that the bill be introduced and the committee forwarded the request.
The chair also announced RS2884, described as addressing pesticide regulation. Representative Roth asked whether RS2884 was similar to a pesticide item discussed last year; the chair replied it was not. The chair said the bill would be forwarded on request for introduction. The committee also noted there would be opportunities for additional bill introductions at the next meeting.
No formal votes on the bills were recorded in the transcript; both items were moved forward as requests for introduction and will next follow the standard committee process for formal introduction and referral.
