Status of Paint EPR Bill

On April 8, 2026 the Senate Ways and Means Committee released their rewrite of the governor’s Environmental Bond Bill (EBB S.3050).   Our paint bill (formerly H.886) language has been included!

This means that instead of needing to add an amendment to the EBB, we “just” need to keep it from being removed.  Next, the full Senate will vote, send it to House Ways & Means, then the full House, and presuming they don’t match, the entire bill then goes to conference committee and then to the Governor.  If it makes it through these next steps, we will finally have a law!
