Bill overview
This bill repeals a New Jersey law that previously prohibited the sale and distribution of single-use plastic carryout bags, single-use paper carryout bags, polystyrene foam food service products, and single-use plastic straws. The law aimed to reduce plastic waste, but research suggests it may have led to increased plastic consumption. This bill would restore the availability of these items in stores and food service businesses.
