 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 1534

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 January 10, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. PARKER -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Environmental Conservation

 AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the
 redemption of empty beverage containers

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 7 of section 27-1007 of the environmental
 2 conservation law, as added by section 4 of part SS of chapter 59 of the
 3 laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows:
 4 7. A deposit initiator on a brand shall accept from a distributor who
 5 does not initiate deposits on that brand any empty beverage containers
 6 of that brand accepted by the distributor from a dealer or operator of a
 7 redemption center and shall reimburse the distributor the refund value
 8 of each such beverage container, as established by section 27-1005 of
 9 this title. A distributor may reimburse the refund value to each dealer
 10 or redemption center in the form of either cash on delivery or credit
 11 for immediate use for filled beverage containers. However, if a dealer's
 12 yearly purchases from a distributor are equal to or greater than one
 13 hundred thousand cases, then a distributor must make such reimbursements
 14 to that dealer in the form of either cash on delivery or credit for
 15 immediate use for filled beverage containers. In addition, the deposit
 16 initiator shall reimburse such distributor for each such beverage
 17 container the handling fee established under subdivision six of this
 18 section. Without limiting the rights of the department or any person,
 19 firm or corporation under this subdivision or any other provision of
 20 this section, a distributor shall have a civil right of action to
 21 enforce this subdivision, including, upon three days notice, the right
 22 to apply for temporary and preliminary injunctive relief against contin-
 23 uing violations, and until arrangements for collection and return of
 24 empty containers or reimbursement of such distributor for such deposits
 25 and handling fees are made.
 26 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
