AN ACT REQUIRING THE USE OF NONPLASTIC RECYCLABLE PRODUCTS BY THE STATE UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.
HB 6456 requires all state agencies to purchase nonplastic recyclable products for supplies whenever practical, provided the cost difference does not exceed 20% compared to plastic alternatives. This applies directly to state departments and agencies making routine supply purchases. The bill sets a clear price threshold (20% maximum premium) to ensure cost-effectiveness while promoting sustainable procurement. It aims to reduce plastic waste in state operations without imposing undue financial burden on taxpayers.
