PLASTIC BAG FEE

Summary

The bill creates a 5‑cent charge on every single‑use plastic bag that a retail store offers at checkout. The fee stays with the store and cannot be rebated to customers. Exemptions apply for recycled paper bags used with SNAP, WIC or similar food assistance purchases, and many specific bag types are excluded from the fee.
