A 4965 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits hotels from providing guests with personal care products in single-use plastic containers under certain circumstances.

This New Jersey bill prohibits hotels from providing guests with personal care products in single-use plastic containers under specific conditions. Large hotels with 50 or more rooms must stop offering these items in guest rooms and shared bathrooms six months after the law takes effect, while all hotels must comply within one year. The legislation allows hotels to provide such products only upon a guest's specific request and only in areas outside of sleeping rooms or shared bathrooms. Violations of these rules can result in a warning for the first offense and fines of up to $1,500 for subsequent offenses, while also preventing local governments from creating their own conflicting regulations on this issue.
