Introduced by M. of A. CORWIN -- read once and referred to the Committee
  on Environmental Conservation

AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to elim-
  inating  the  requirement that bottlers and brewers must include a New
  York specific universal product code on  all  redeemable  bottles  and
  cans and to extend the start date of registering container labels

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subdivision 12 of  section  27-1012  of  the  environmental
conservation  law, as added by section 8 of part SS of chapter 59 of the
laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows:
  12. Beginning on [June] JANUARY first, two thousand  [nine]  TEN  each
deposit  initiator  shall  register  the container label of any beverage
offered for sale in the state on which it initiates a deposit. Any  such
registered  container  label  shall bear a universal product code. [Such
universal product code shall be New York state  specific,  in  order  to
identify  the  beverage container as offered for sale exclusively in New
York state, and as a means of preventing illegal redemption of  beverage
containers  purchased  out-of-state.]  Registration  must be on forms as
prescribed by the department and must include the universal product code
for each combination of beverage and container manufactured. The commis-
sioner may require that such forms be filed electronically. The  deposit
initiator  shall  renew  a  label  registration  whenever  that label is
revised by altering the universal product code or whenever the container
on which it appears is changed in size, composition or glass color.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.


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