SIGNED BY GOVERNOR
Summary
The bill establishes a nonprofit stewardship organization that all beverage sellers must join, and it sets new duties for distributors and redemption centers, including rapid container pickup and acceptance of reverse‑vending‑machine processed containers. It also changes how unclaimed deposit funds are sent to the state, criminalizes refunding out‑of‑state containers, and bans short‑bagging. The measures aim to improve recycling rates, reduce fraud, and make the bottle‑bill permanent.
