relative to extended producer responsibility.

Summary

The bill adds a new subdivision to RSA 149-M that creates an extended producer responsibility (EPR) system for all packaging sold or distributed in New Hampshire. It requires producers – manufacturers, brand owners, and importers – to pay stewardship fees to a non‑profit packaging reduction organization (PRO) overseen by the Department of Environmental Services. The collected fees would support programs that cut packaging waste, improve recycling rates, and develop reusable packaging infrastructure.
