AI Summary

This bill seeks to create a deposit for glass wine and liquor bottles. Specifically, the bill would amend the definition of "Beverage" in existing law to include alcoholic beverages, liquor, and wine, in addition to soda, mineral water, and beer. This would mean that glass wine and liquor bottles would be subject to the same bottle deposit requirement as other beverages. The executive office of energy and environmental affairs would be responsible for implementing the provisions of the bill by promulgating necessary regulations and guidelines.
