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

HD 251 authorizes the Town of Sudbury to require retail businesses to charge customers at least $0.10 per checkout bag. It directly affects all Sudbury retail establishments (including stores, restaurants, pharmacies, and grocery stores) that provide checkout bags at the point of sale. The bill mandates that fees must be separately listed on receipts as a "checkout bag charge," with all collected funds retained by the business. This policy excludes specific bag types like produce bags, prescription medication bags, or protective bags from the fee requirement.
