Relates to the regulation of the sale of plastic trash bags

S 1730 requires all plastic trash bags sold in the state to contain at least 30% recycled post-consumer material by weight, affecting manufacturers (who produce the bags) and retailers (who sell them). The bill mandates clear labeling of recycled content on product packaging and imposes $500 penalties for retailers or manufacturers who violate the requirement, with first-time violations receiving warnings. It allows the environmental department to later set higher recycled content standards. The law takes effect on January 1, 2028.
