  1  1    Section 1.  Section 455D.10A, subsection 2, Code 1995, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    2.  MERCURY CONTENT LIMITED.
  1  4    a.  Beginning July 1, 1993, a A person shall not sell,
  1  5 distribute, or offer for retail sale in this state an alkaline

  1  7 thousandths of a percent mercury by weight, or a button cell
  1  8 battery which contains more than twenty-five milligrams of

  1 10 sell, distribute, or offer for sale at retail in this state an
  1 11 alkaline manganese household battery manufactured on or after
  1 12 January 1, 1996, to which mercury has been added.  This
  1 13 paragraph does not apply to alkaline manganese button cell
  1 14 batteries.
  1 15    b.  A person shall not sell, distribute, or offer for
  1 16 retail sale in this state an alkaline manganese button cell
  1 17 battery which contains more than twenty-five milligrams of
  1 18 mercury.  
  1 19                           EXPLANATION
  1 20    This bill clarifies that a person cannot sell, distribute,
  1 21 or offer for retail sale an alkaline manganese button cell
  1 22 battery containing more than 25 milligrams of mercury.
  1 23 Current law prohibits the sale or distribution of alkaline
  1 24 manganese household batteries containing mercury beginning
  1 25 January 1, 1996.  This bill amends that provision to allow for
  1 26 the retail sale of alkaline manganese household batteries
  1 27 after January 1, 1996, provided the batteries were
  1 28 manufactured prior to that date.
