Bans toxic chemicals and certain plastics in most single-use drink bottles sold in stores.
This bill would stop stores from selling most single-use drink bottles that contain specific toxic chemicals or materials that make them hard to recycle. It would also create a special fund, paid for by fines from these new rules, to help local governments improve their waste and water systems. These changes would take effect two years after the bill becomes law.
Today, retailers can sell single-use beverage containers that contain certain toxic substances or materials that make them hard to recycle. If this bill passes, starting two years after it becomes law, retailers would be prohibited from selling these containers, and could face fines of up to $50,000 per product line for violations. These fines would then fund grants for local governments to improve waste and water systems.
