 AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to
 registration as a redemption center and the handling fee paid to any
 dealer or operator of a redemption center

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 6 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 6. In addition to the refund value of a beverage container as estab-
 5 lished by section 27-1005 of this title, a deposit initiator shall pay
 6 to any dealer or operator of a redemption center a handling fee of
 7 [three and one-half] five cents for each beverage container accepted by
 8 the deposit initiator from such dealer or operator of a redemption
 9 center. Payment of the handling fee shall be as compensation for
 10 collecting, sorting and packaging of empty beverage containers for
 11 transport back to the deposit initiator or its designee. Payment of the
 12 handling fee may not be conditioned on the purchase of any goods or
 13 services, nor may such payment be made out of the refund value account
 14 established pursuant to section 27-1012 of this title. A distributor who
 15 does not initiate deposits on a type of beverage container is considered
 16 a dealer only for the purpose of receiving a handling fee from a deposit
 17 initiator.
 18 § 2. Paragraphs a and c of subdivision 4 of section 27-1012 of the
 19 environmental conservation law, as added by section 8 of part SS of
 20 chapter 59 of the laws of 2009, are amended to read as follows:
 21 a. Quarterly payments. An amount equal to [eighty] forty-seven percent
 22 of the balance outstanding in the refund value account at the close of
 23 each quarter shall be paid to the commissioner of taxation and finance
 24 at the time the report provided for in subdivision three of this section

 1 is required to be filed. The commissioner of taxation and finance may
 2 require that the payments be made electronically. The remaining [twen-
 3 ty] fifty-three percent of the balance outstanding at the close of each
 4 quarter shall be the monies of the deposit initiator and may be with-
 5 drawn from such account by the deposit initiator. If the provisions of
 6 this section with respect to such account have not been fully complied
 7 with, each deposit initiator shall pay to such commissioner at such
 8 time, in lieu of the amount described in the preceding sentence, an
