An Act authorizing the town of Concord to establish a fee for checkout bags

This bill authorizes the town of Concord to require a minimum fee of ten cents for checkout bags provided by retail businesses within its limits. It defines checkout bags as those given to customers at the point of sale, while explicitly excluding produce bags, pharmacy prescription bags, and protective clothing covers. The collected fees must be kept by the stores rather than the town, and the charge must be listed separately on receipts. The town manager is empowered to create specific rules and enforce compliance with this new fee structure.
