AI Summary

This bill aims to reduce single-use plastics in Massachusetts. It requires the Operational Services Division (OSD), in consultation with the Department of Environmental Protection, to establish regulations for determining which food service products are reusable, recyclable, compostable, or biodegradable. The OSD will then develop a list of approved food service products that can be used by state-operated food service facilities. These facilities will be prohibited from using food service products not on the approved list, with some exceptions. The bill also requires the OSD to ensure state contracts with food service facilities comply with these requirements and to provide resources to help these facilities identify approved suppliers.
