(a) This chapter does not apply to a drug or sharp within a jurisdiction that is subject to a local stewardship program pursuant to an ordinance that took effect before April 18, 2018. If that ordinance is repealed in the jurisdiction or, if more than one ordinance is applicable, those ordinances are repealed in the jurisdiction, the drug or sharp shall be subject to this chapter in that jurisdiction within 270 days after the date on which the ordinance is, or ordinances are, repealed.
(b) This chapter shall preempt a local stewardship program for drugs or sharps enacted by an ordinance or ordinances with an effective date on or after April 18, 2018.
(c) A local stewardship program for covered products enacted by an ordinance that has an effective date before April 18, 2018, may continue in operation, but the program and its participants shall not receive or benefit from moneys from the Pharmaceutical and Sharps Stewardship Fund or the Pharmaceutical and Sharps Stewardship Penalty Account, including, but not limited to, for administrative or enforcement costs. Participants of a local stewardship program for covered products enacted by an ordinance that has an effective date before April 18, 2018, shall be eligible to participate in a stewardship program under this chapter and thereby become eligible to receive funds from the Pharmaceutical and Sharps Stewardship Fund or the Pharmaceutical and Sharps Stewardship Penalty Account only if the local stewardship program is dissolved.
