A bill to amend 1976 IL 1, entitled “A petition to initiate legislation to provide for the use of returnable containers for soft drinks, soda water, carbonated natural or mineral water, other nonalcoholic carbonated drink, and for beer, ale, or other malt drink of whatever alcoholic content, and for certain other beverage containers; to provide for the use of unredeemed bottle deposits; to prescribe the powers and duties of certain state agencies and officials; and to prescribe penalties and provide remedies,” by adding section 2c.
House Bills 6054 and 6055 update Michigan's bottle deposit law by expanding container definitions, requiring unique markings for redemption, mandating manual redemption when machines fail, enhancing consumer rights notifications, and strengthening penalties for fraud and noncompliance.
