New York loves feel-good laws, but this may improve how businesses deal with batteries. Many workplaces will have policies now for how to deal with batteries, particularly unionized companies where the employees will rat the company out.

Without fines, fees and deposits, how else to you make the consumers of a commodity take on that cost.
