 AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation  to  the
   handling  fee  paid to a dealer or operator of a redemption center for
   the redemption of empty beverage containers
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Subdivision  6  of  section  27-1007 of the environmental
 conservation law, as added by section 4 of part SS of chapter 59 of  the
 laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows:
   6.  In  addition to the refund value of a beverage container as estab-
 lished by section 27-1005 of this title, a deposit initiator  shall  pay
 to any dealer or operator of a redemption center a handling fee of three
 and  one-half  cents for each beverage container accepted by the deposit
 initiator from such dealer or operator of a redemption center. BEGINNING
 APRIL FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-FOUR, THE  HANDLING  FEE  WILL  BE  SIX
 CENTS. Payment of the handling fee shall be as compensation for collect-
 ing,  sorting  and  packaging of empty beverage containers for transport
 back to the deposit initiator or its designee. Payment of  the  handling
 fee may not be conditioned on the purchase of any goods or services, nor
 may  such  payment  be  made out of the refund value account established
 pursuant to section 27-1012 of this title. A distributor  who  does  not
 initiate deposits on a type of beverage container is considered a dealer
 only  for  the purpose of receiving a handling fee from a deposit initi-
 ator.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
