Bill > HB06265

This bill proposes to amend existing state statutes to prohibit the use of the abbreviation "CTRV" (which likely stands for "Connecticut Redemption Value") and the phrase "Redemption Value" on beverage containers sold or distributed within the state. The purpose of this legislation is to improve consumer understanding of container deposit values and potentially increase the rate at which beverage containers are returned for recycling. By restricting these specific terms on containers, the bill aims to provide clearer communication about container deposits and encourage more widespread participation in the state's beverage container recycling program. While the bill does not specify the exact alternative language or method for indicating redemption value, its intent appears to be simplifying and potentially standardizing how deposit information is presented to consumers.
