A 2087 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits use of receipt paper containing bisphenol A.

This bill prohibits businesses from using receipt paper containing bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical added during manufacturing to improve paper properties, for transaction records like receipts, credit/debit card transactions, or banking records. Violators face civil penalties of $250 to $500 per offense, with each day of ongoing violation treated as a separate offense. The law would take effect 18 months after enactment, giving businesses time to switch to BPA-free alternatives. It directly affects retailers, restaurants, banks, and any business issuing transaction receipts.
