Oregon Mercury-Containing Lighting Recycling (SB 742)

Status: 
Failed
Type: 
Bill
Date: 
March, 2009

SB 742 (PDF file, 43KB), introduced in March 2009, would have required manufacturers of mercury-containing lighting, such as CFLs and fluorescent tubes, to set up and finance a collection system for the safe recycling of these products. The system would have served urban and rural areas of Oregon and provided free, convenient recycling. The bill did not pass.
