The bill amends section 403.7192 of the Florida Statutes to establish new requirements for battery manufacturers and marketers regarding the sale of products powered by specific types of batteries, including lithium, medium-format, portable, and primary batteries. It introduces definitions for these battery types, specifying weight and capacity criteria for medium-format and portable batteries. The bill also outlines that cell manufacturers or marketers are prohibited from selling consumer or nonconsumer products powered by these batteries unless they meet certain conditions, such as the ability for consumers to easily remove the battery or the inclusion of proper labeling and recycling instructions.

Additionally, the bill redesignates existing paragraphs within the statute and modifies the language to change the obligation of cell manufacturers or marketers from "shall" to "may" in relation to the sale of battery-powered products. This change indicates a shift in the regulatory approach, potentially allowing for more flexibility in compliance. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
