MO SB917

Establishes a post-consumer paint collection program in Missouri requiring architectural paint producers to develop and fund recycling plans, with implementation by January 1, 2028, or six months after plan approval

Requires at least 90% of Missouri residents to have a collection site within a 15-mile radius, with one site per 50,000 residents; collection sites cannot charge consumers additional fees for paint disposal

Imposes a per-container "paint assessment fee" on architectural paint (interior/exterior coatings in containers of 5 gallons or less) to fund program operations, verified by independent financial auditor

Creates the Department of Natural Resources oversight role limited to plan approval and annual report review, with administrative fees capped at 5% of aggregate program fees after the initial year

Prohibits sale of architectural paint in Missouri by producers not participating in an approved program; provides antitrust liability protection for producers and representative organizations operating in compliance with the program
