What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill changes the rules for storing used lithium-ion batteries before they are recycled. Right now, facilities that store these batteries have to follow strict hazardous waste rules and get special permits, but this bill would let them follow a simpler set of rules instead. The goal is to make it easier to recycle lithium-ion batteries and recover important minerals from them.
