  1  3    4.  "Household hazardous material" means a product used for
  1  4 residential purposes and designated by rule of the department
  1  5 of natural resources and may include any hazardous substance
  1  6 as defined in section 455B.411, subsection 2; and any

  1 11 with the exception of latex-based paints, lacquers, thinners,
  1 12 caustic household cleaners, spot and stain remover with
  1 13 petroleum base, and petroleum-based fertilizers.  However,
  1 14 "household hazardous material" does not include laundry
  1 15 detergents or soaps, dishwashing compounds, chlorine bleach,
  1 16 personal care products, personal care soaps, cosmetics, and
  1 17 medications.
  1 18    Sec. 2.  Section 455F.3, Code 1997, is repealed.  
  1 19                           EXPLANATION
  1 20    This bill amends Code section 455F.1 by removing waxes,
  1 21 polishes, caustic household cleaners, and spot and stain
  1 22 removers with a petroleum base from the definition of
  1 23 household hazardous materials.  As a result, these materials
  1 24 are not included under the various labeling, permitting,
  1 25 collection, and education provisions of Code chapter 455F.
  1 26 The bill also changes solvents to pure solvents in the
  1 27 definition.
  1 28    The bill also repeals Code section 455F.3 relating to a
  1 29 labeling requirement for household hazardous materials.
  1 30 Currently, that Code section requires the following:
  1 31    1.  A retailer is required to affix a label near a display
  1 32 area of a household hazardous material, in most cases adjacent
  1 33 to price information for the material.
  1 34    2.  The department of natural resources shall develop and
  1 35 distribute a list of household hazardous products to be
  2  1 utilized in the labeling of display areas.
  2  2    3.  A person found in violation of the section is guilty of
  2  3 a simple misdemeanor.
