An Act relative to containers, litter, ecology and nips (CLEAN Act)

HD 1590, the CLEAN Act, increases the deposit on beverage containers from 1 cent to 3 cents. It redefines "beverage container" to exclude biodegradable materials and clarifies that a "miniature" is any container under 100ml designed for alcohol. The bill also prohibits local governments from banning miniature sales (though existing bans remain valid), affecting beverage producers, retailers, and municipal regulations. Key changes focus on container definitions, deposit amounts, and local ordinance authority.
