On June 10, A Colorado bill covering the end-of-life management of propulsion batteries used in electric and hybrid vehicles was signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis June 4 and could set a new standard across the United States for how battery recycling legislation is crafted. Senate Bill 26-003 received bipartisan support from state lawmakers and is designed to expand on Colorado’s existing Battery Stewardship Act (S.B. 25-163), which established an extended producer responsibility (EPR) framework for small- and medium-format batteries last year. S.B. 26-003 establishes requirements for large-format batteries that differ from the requirements of its predecessor.
