Bill overview
This bill establishes the School Plastics Upcycling Grant Program within the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The program aims to provide proportional grant funding to eligible schools based on the amount of plastic they collect for upcycling. It will appropriate $5 million to fund these grants, enabling schools to purchase school-appropriate furnishings made from upcycled plastics. The program will initially operate as a pilot for three years, with potential for continued funding based on a commissioner’s report.
