An Act authorizing the town of Acton to establish a minimum charge for a checkout bag

This bill authorizes the town of Acton to require retail businesses to charge customers for checkout bags. It mandates a minimum fee of $0.15 per bag (with fees appearing separately on receipts as "checkout bag charge"), applies to all retail establishments (including stores, restaurants, and pharmacies), and excludes specific bags like those for prescriptions, produce, or frozen food. Retailers keep all collected fees, and the Acton Board of Health oversees implementation. The bill takes effect three months after passage.
