Eliminates prohibition on paper bags, and allows packaging options, for certain grocery orders for three years; requires program for disposition of reusable bags; extends timeframe for use of certain bags by food banks and pantries.

This bill temporarily allows grocery stores and third-party delivery services to provide single-use paper bags (with at least 40% recycled content) for delivered, picked-up, or curbside grocery orders for three years. After this period, they must switch to reusable bags only. It also extends the timeframe food banks and pantries can use certain bags and requires a program for disposing of reusable bags.
