Bill Summary
For legislation to include nip bottles and certain other containers in the bottle law. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the CLEAN Act, seeks to expand the state's bottle deposit law to include "nip" bottles and certain other small containers. Specifically, it redefines "beverage" to include alcoholic beverages sold in miniature (100ml or less) containers, and "beverage container" to include those miniature containers. The bill also increases the deposit value from 1 cent to 3 cents for all covered containers. Additionally, it prohibits local governments from banning the sale of these miniature alcoholic beverage containers, though it allows cities and towns that already have such bans to maintain them. The overall goal of the legislation is to reduce litter and promote more comprehensive recycling of these small alcohol containers.
