> The committee is expected to discuss various proposals. Some would require public education campaigns or safety reports. Another would prohibit the sale of some secondhand lithium-ion batteries, or e-bike or scooter batteries without certain seals of approval.

Anything relying on the end consumer to make better choices is doomed to fail. A guy making $22,000 a year running deliveries is not going to pay 20% more for a genuine battery, nor is the illegal shop out of the back of a minivan going to sell him one. You need to stem the flow at manufacture and import.
