Bill > SB00083

This bill modifies an existing Connecticut state statute concerning "nip bottle payments" - which are likely payments or fees related to small single-serving alcohol bottles (sometimes called "nips") - to change how municipalities can use these funds. Currently, towns receiving these payments can use them for reducing solid waste generation, but the proposed legislation would restrict their use exclusively to litter remediation efforts. By narrowing the scope of how these payments can be spent, the bill aims to more directly target the environmental problem of litter, particularly that associated with small alcohol bottles, which are often discarded in public spaces. The legislation reflects a specific policy approach to addressing local waste management and cleanup challenges by creating a more focused use of municipal revenue streams.
