Directs DEP to establish rebate program for purchase of microfiber washing machine filter or replacement filter; appropriates $2.5 million.

This bill directs New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to create a rebate program for residents purchasing microfiber washing machine filters. It appropriates $2.5 million to cover rebates of up to $100 per filter (capped at the filter's cost), helping residents offset the expense of devices that capture microfibers from laundry wastewater before they enter waterways. The DEP must determine eligible filters, manage applications, and report annually on program effectiveness, including rebates issued and pollution reduction impact. The program aims to reduce microfiber pollution - a major source of plastic contamination in waterways - by encouraging filter adoption.
