AI Summary
This bill establishes the School Plastics Upcycling Grant Program in the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to provide proportional awards to eligible schools based on their pro rata share of plastics collected for upcycling purposes. The program will operate on a pilot basis for three years or until the appropriated $5 million is fully expended, after which the DEP Commissioner can continue the program annually if sufficient funding is available.
