Certain single-use plastic use prohibition
This bill prohibits hotels in Minnesota from selling, offering, or providing single-use plastic bottles containing shampoo or conditioner to their guests. The law applies to all establishments classified as hotels under existing state definitions and takes effect on January 1, 2027. Hotels found in violation could face civil penalties of up to $50 per bottle, with a maximum fine of $10,000, and the state attorney general would be responsible for enforcement. The legislation aims to reduce plastic waste by eliminating these specific disposable items from hotel amenities.
