Repeals law that prohibits certain establishments from providing or selling various single-use products to customers.
This bill (S 3294) repeals New Jersey's 2020 law (P.L.2020, c.117) that banned certain businesses from providing or selling single-use plastic carryout bags, paper carryout bags, polystyrene foam food containers, and plastic straws without customer requests. It directly affects grocery stores, restaurants, food banks, and other retail establishments by removing these restrictions. The repeal allows these businesses to freely provide or sell the specified single-use products to customers without requiring prior requests for plastic straws. This is a straightforward policy change eliminating existing prohibitions, with no new funding or administrative mechanisms introduced.
