Regulation of Auxiliary Containers

Summary

The measure creates a definition for reusable or single‑use bags, cups, bottles and similar packaging and requires the Department of Environmental Protection to update a 2010 report on retail bags. It would preempt most local regulation of these containers, allowing only state‑wide rules, but permits local bans on glass containers at public beaches and state parks. The bill also lets the Division of Recreation and Parks set rules for state parks.
