Oil based paints must be brought to the county hazmat collection sites. They usually have collection days every few months.
The bill adds a cost to the paints at wholesale to cover the cost of the collection sites. It seems to put the charge on all the paint rather than just those that end up at HazMat. Maybe easier or less expensive if spread over the entire line.
