An Act relative to boat wrap recycling

This bill establishes a statewide recycling program for plastic shrink-wrap used to protect boats during winter storage, directly affecting marinas, boatyards, yacht clubs, and municipal recycling centers. To fund this initiative, the legislation creates a dedicated Boat Shrink-Wrap Recycling Fund by adding a 10 percent surcharge to boat registration, title, and permit fees. The collected money will be used to support collection sites and provide financial assistance to marine businesses and recycling centers, while the Department of Environmental Protection is tasked with developing the necessary rules and regulations to implement the program.
